Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Type squirrel into the composer
2. Hit ctrl-cmd-space to insert an emoji
3. Discover that rather than getting your full fat OS emoji picker, you instead get a single option to propose a squirrel emoji:

4. Click on it. Nothing happens.
5. Hit enter to select it like you would in the full-fat emoji picker - and the composer suddenly sends the partially composed message (having appended the emoji)
6. Double-clicking on it would have inserted the emoji (but why would you double click? the full-fat one lets you single-click)
7. Pressing 'space' would have inserted it too, apparently.
### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

UX should work like a normal macOS app like Notes.app:
* Hitting enter should insert the emoji, not send the message.
* Hitting the down-key should have gone into full-fat mode.
* Single-click should insert the emoji.

#### What happened instead?

None of the above.
