In the past few Ubuntu releases (and if my memory serves me right also in 20.04 at the beginning), I was able to insert emoji in every application by clicking ctrl + shift + e and then typing out the name. This is a very convenient feature that suddenly stopped working.
I have already verified that ibus-daemon is running and that the keyboard shortcut did not change via ibus-setup (I have also tried changing it to something other, but to no avail). I have also attempted the solution described in this answer here, however it only partially solved the issue (the shortcut worked in Gedit but pretty much nowhere else).
Did something change that I missed? Or did I break something on my systems (which would be weird, since it affects both of my machines running 20.04)?
