+#   Use rofi to pick emoji because that's what this
+#   century is about apparently...
+#
+#   Requirements:
+#     rofi, xsel, xdotool, curl, xmllint
+#
+#   Usage:
+#     1. Download all emoji
+#        $ rofi-emoji --download
+#
+#     2. Run it!
+#        $ rofi-emoji
+#
+#   Notes:
+#     * You'll need a emoji font like "Noto Emoji" or "EmojiOne".
+#     * Confirming an item will automatically paste it WITHOUT
+#       writing it to your clipboard.
+#     * Ctrl+C will copy it to your clipboard WITHOUT pasting it.
