rofimoji [-h] [--version] [--action {type,copy,clipboard,unicode,copy-unicode,print,menu}] [--skin-tone {neutral,light,medium-light,moderate,dark brown,black,ask}] [--files {all,FILE [FILE ...]]} [--prompt PROMPT] [--selector-args SELECTOR_ARGS] [--max-recent MAX_RECENT] [--no-frecency] [--hidden-descriptions] [--clipboarder CLIPBOARDER] [--typer TYPER] [--selector SELECTOR]
DESCRIPTION
Select, insert, or copy Unicode characters like emoji using rofi.
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
- Prints brief usage information.
- --version
- show program’s version number and exit
- --action, -a
- Possible values: type, copy, clipboard, unicode, copy-unicode, print, menu
Choose what to do with the selected characters: Directly type them with the “Typer”, copy them to the clipboard using the “Clipboarder”, or insert them indirectly using the clipboard. “unicode” will type the unicode codepoints of the chosen characters, “copy-unicode” will copy it. “print” just outputs them on stdout. If you want to decide on the fly, use “menu”.
- --skin-tone=skin-tone, -s skin-tone
- Possible values: neutral, light, medium-light, moderate, dark brown, black, ask
Decide on a skin-tone for all supported emojis. If not set (or set to “ask”), you will be asked for each one
- --files FILE [FILE ...], -f FILE [FILE ...]
- Read characters from this file (or these files), one entry per line. Absolute and relative paths are supported, as is globbing (--files /home/you/characters.csv ../other*.csv). A filename without extension is enough (--files musical_symbols supplemental_arrows) for included character files and all in ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/rofimoji/data. Here, too, globbing is supported and done by default. In the config file, several files need to be listed as files=[_FILE_, _FILE_].
- --prompt PROMPT, -r PROMPT
- Set rofimoji’s prompt
- --selector-args SELECTOR-ARGS
- A string of arguments to give to the selector.
- --max-recent MAX-RECENT
- Show at most this number of recently used characters (cannot be larger than 10)
- --no-frecency
- Don’t show frequently used characters at the start.
- Only list the characters, but not their description. Note that you can still search through the descriptions.
- --clipboarder CLIPBOARDER
- Possible values: xsel, xclip, wl-copy
Choose the application to access the clipboard with manually.
- --typer TYPER
- Possible values: xdotool, wtype
Choose the application to type with manually.
- --selector SELECTOR
- Possible values: rofi, wofi, fuzzel, dmenu
Choose the selector application manually. Usually rofi, but for Wayland, you may want wofi or fuzzel.

FILES
- ~/.config/rofimoji.rc
- Per-user configuration file.
- /etc/xdg/xdg-i3/rofimoji.rc
- Global configuration file.

CONFIGURATION
Args that start with “--” (eg. --version) can also be set in a config file.
Config file syntax allows: key=value, flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c] (for details, see syntax at https://github.com/fdw/rofimoji#example-config-file). If an arg is specified in more than one place, then commandline values override values from the config file.
