Pressing E and D brings up Emojis and Dictation on Mac

The latest MacOS has an incompatibility with the app framework where input fields where pressing E brings up the emoji popup and D brings up the dictation window.

Here is the workaround for the emoji popup:

  1. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.

  2. Go to App Shortcuts and press the + button to add new shortcut.

  3. Enter "Emoji & Symbols" for the menu title and Keyboard Shortcut. I use Apple key and E to replace the existing shortcut.

For the dictation window:

  1. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Dictation and turn off the Shortcut.
