Emoji Toolbar, emojis not selectable with arrow keys on macOS 26

Steps to reproduce

macOS 26.1
Obsidian 1.10.3
Both with and without community Plugins (all updated to latest version - no effect)

Press Control + Command + Space to open Emoji toolbar
You can enter something in the search box but don’t have to

On previous macOS versions you could use the arrow keys up, down, left, right to navigate through the search results.

On macOS 26.1 I can no longer leave the search field with the arrow keys, I’m “stuck” with the cursor inside the search field.

Tab and Shift + Tab however works to go through the different emoji tabs.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Yes

It does work in Sandbox Vault.
It does NOT work in Restricted mode
It does NOT work in non-restricted mode WITHOUT community plugins
It does NOT work in non-restricted mode WITH community plugins

Expected result

Be able to use arrow keys on keyboard to select an Emoji

Actual result

Arrow keys don’t work

Rrestricted mode ON, default theme, no snippets, restart obsidian. Does it work?

  • So I turned Restricted Mode On (with restart)
  • Theme is default (also was before)
  • disabled all CSS snippets (is this want you meant?)
  • Restarted Oblivian again

Still not able to use arrow keys for navigation in Obsidian’S Emoji Toolbar
