Explain the problem as you see it
When I write with Tana, every time I use the basic punctuation "colon" / :, the "emojis panel selection" appears. Then by reflex if I want to go to the next node, pressing enter add an emoji !
It happens when we have a "space" before the "colon". That means for English writing, there is no issue because in modern English-language printing, no space is placed before a colon and a single space is placed after it. By having the "colon" right after the last letter of a word, the "emojis panel" doesn’t appear.
But as many other languages than English, the rules of punctuation request a space before the punctuation "colon" (same for ? or ! ).
Why is this a problem for you?
It is bothering me to constantly have a useless panel of emojis opening. If I am writing an outline or a bullet-point list. I have several times per minute this emoji pop-up windows and very often, it inserts an emojy, but I just wanting to go to the next line/node.
Colon is one of the most common punctuation marks in writing. By using a PKM and note-taking app, I expect to be able to focus on my writing. Even if it isn’t English writing.

Disable the emojis quick access with colon.

It also triggers when ending the text with ")" before the colon. As in "This is my text (which is ending now):" - this is where I mostly hit it.
You ask to "disable" the quick access. I would suggest a toggle instead.
Another way to keep it almost as-is, is to make it a double colon (or other character).
If not sticking to colon as the character, semicolon is also good - as it sort of denotes a wink smiley. Easy to remember.
