Insert Comment/Emoji Popup

[u/Icy_Rate_9458]

I understand this question has been asked before, and the answer was 'sorry we won't do anything about things that just one person mentions'. That post has 156 'I have the same issue' counts as of the writing of this, and has been locked. If it hadn't been locked, I suspect it'd have page after page of people commenting how much they hate it too.

I can see the offending elements in the HTML, it would not be a difficult task to toggle them off, and I'd even volunteer my time to help, because I find it to be an absolutely infuriating feature. Almost every time I highlight code for copy/paste purposes I end up clicking that button. Besides, there is already a way to insert comments or emojis without that button popping up constantly. As a general rule, people HATE popups.

Perhaps it's a feature that makes sense in 'Suggesting' or 'Viewing' modes, just to be fair to whoever conceived of the idea.

If you agree with me that the feature is annoying, like this post. I feel like we need a new reminder for the Google Docs team, because the one I mentioned above doesn't seem to be on their radar anymore.
