copy to clipboard? #4

Thank you for this detailed description.

I believe I can decode those three words as your wish to copy an accepted emoji to the clipboard using jome.

jome's sole purpose is to help you browse emojis, find one, and accept it. jome doesn't care what you do with the accepted emoji; what happens after is up to you: jome can execute a command to which it passes the emoji or its codepoints, or print the emoji/codepoints to the standard output.

Here's a command-line example which copies the accepted emoji to the clipboard using xsel on Linux:

$ jome -n | xsel -b

You'll need a bit more logic to support cancellation, for example:

emoji=$(jome -n)

if (($? == 0)); then
    echo -n "$emoji" | xsel -b
fi

Closing this.

A one liner with xclip could be:

bash -c "echo \$(jome) | xclip -selection clipboard"

A solution with wl-clipboard for Wayland:

jome | wl-copy
