Cannot insert emojis nowhere? #41

I've managed to install this successfully in arch linux and I can get the search window popup just fine The problem that I have is that first there's nowhere any dropout menu and second I cannot insert emojis in any other application.

Because I only get the search window, I look for an emoji select it and then go to another app and paste it using Ctrl+V, nothing happens. I don't know why?

Also it would be nice if you could just type and get the emojis directly in our desired applications. In the readme it says this is experimental but there's no instruction on how to enable or test this?

I am having the same issues selecting emojis doesn't reflect anywhere :( PS: using Shift + Ctrl + C on emojis will eventually solve the problem

@Bhupesh-V Actually I had to renew some of the commands to python3 inside emojione-picker file and make sure that inside that file there would be calls linked against /usr/lib/python3.8 and not python2.7.

Ah can you point me to those lines. Looks like creating a PR won't help. The author is inactive :cry:

@Bhupesh-V I don't remember exactly what I changed but I've made a gist here. You can run a diff against your local installation to see the differences.
