How do I get the Windows emoji keyboard to automatically dismiss after typing an emoji?

Question

I'm loving the Windows 10 emoji keyboard.
(type the keyboard combination Win + . to access it)

Only problem is it doesn't close after selecting a character. You have to hit the Escape key to dismiss.

How do you set it to dismiss immediately after selecting an emoji?

There's a setting for this:

Open Settings
Search for "keyboard" and select Edit language and keyboard options
On the right side, click Advanced keyboard settings
Towards the bottom, uncheck Don't close the panel automatically after an emoji has been entered
