Letter e not working and how to disable emojis
Hi,
Every single time I try typing the letter "e" the emojis keyboard appear. Would you know how to disable or stop that? I cannot use the letter e. Thank you.

You can use Command ⌘ instead of Control ^ on Mac

Hello Julia
Sorry you have had trouble – thanks for contacting us about this.
This is definitely not a bug in Goalscape: it is a Known Issue in macOS 10.15+ that affects other applications besides ours (it's something to do with the keyboard settings or configuration). Goalscape does not support emojis; and there is no 'e' hotkey (note too that all Goalscape hotkeys require the 'cmd' modifier anyway).
There are many posts about this issue on Apple support forums – some fixes are suggested here; elsewhere there is a link to Disable the Mac Keyboard’s Emoji Shortcut. We have also heard of a workaround where using the 'ctrl' modifier with 'e' made the letter appear correctly; and someone else suggested using the Mac voice dictation facility.
If none of those fixes work for you, you could try contacting Apple Support.
All the best
Richard

Hello,
I still have the same problem and also followed the instructions provided but no luck. I have contacted Apple and they said the problem is with the Goalscape app since the problem only happens in this app and not anywhere else. Could you help me fix it?

Hello Julia
Yes! We have found a workaround for you to use:
Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts Tab and click Add (+).
On the panel that pops up, set the 'Application' drop-down to All Applications.
In Menu Title: Emoji & Symbols, set the Keyboard Shortcut to cmd ⌘ + e (or whatever you like).
Once you have done this, the emoji popup will no longer appear when you press 'e' in Goalscape (or in any other application).
The background here is that although this is not a bug in Goalscape itself, it is in the Harman AIR framework (so it affects all Mac applications that use that framework). Harman has now issued a fix for this, which we will incorporate into next updates for the Goalscape Desktop and Goalscape Online apps.
Keep achieving great goals!

The letter “d” is not working now. The microphone comes up when I press that. Please advice.
Thank you.

Hello Julia
If the previous instructions worked for you (to disable the aberrant 'e' shortcut), can you do the same, only using 'cmd ⌘ + d?
We are continuing to investigate this odd behaviour and if we find out anything else we will post here again.
All the best
Richard

Hi Julia
You will be pleased to know that we have now issued the updates that include the fix for both the 'e' and 'd' key issues that you reported here.
The next time you start the Legacy Goalscape app you will be prompted to download and install the update (if you do not see that dialog box, please check that it is not hidden behind the main application window – or click' Check for Updates' in the Application Menu).
Any time you want to migrate to the new world of the web app you can buy a Yearly or Monthly subscription and transfer your goalscapes.
Keep achieving great goals!
Richard
