            Bug ID: 136947
           Summary: No 'Emojis & Symbols' integration into LO macOS
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: gtomorrow at libero.it

Description:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/266979/why-cant-i-access-the-native-mac-character-viewer-from-libreoffice-apps/?comment=267101#post-id-267101

This person is asking why they can't access the system-wide menu item, `Edit >
Emojis & Symbols (Cmd-Ctrl-Spacebar)` in LO. And in fact, LibreOffice, being
about as cross-platform as you can get, is missing this standard system-wide
command -- something I'd never noticed before in all the years of using LO on
OSX/macOS!

Major cross-platform FLOSS examples that contain `Emojis & Symbols
(Cmd-Ctrl-Spacebar)`:
- Firefox
- GIMP
- Inkscape
- Krita
- XQuartz
  - ...and I have no idea why(!) other than `Emojis & Symbols` is standard and
automatic in the GUI toolkit

Major cross-platform FLOSS examples that don't:
- Scribus
  - This is especially unforgivable, moreso than LO
- Blender
  - Forgivable as 1) Blender is on another "planet" and 2) formatted documents
and typography in a strict sense isn't done in Blender
- Raw Therapee
  - Like Blender, RT has no text entry capabilities (discounting commenting
photos)

File under ~Minor not under ~"Enhancement". Thank you.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. In LO (any component) macOS, press `Cmd-Ctrl-Spacebar`
   - Nothing happens
2. Choose `Edit > Emojis & Symbols` to invoke system-wide Emojis & Symbols
palette


Actual Results:
Nothing: the item doesn't exist

Expected Results:
Using either method outlined above, the macOS Emojis & Symbols palette should
appear


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
