        The output of ep. Choices: clipboard, stdout (default "clipboard")

Navigation can be done with the arrow keys. Pressing Enter copies the selected
emoji to the clipboard.

Examples

• ep - Opens the default emoji picker.
• ep wink - Opens the default emoji picker with the query “wink” already
  entered
• ep -noninteractive wink - Copies the first search result for “wink” to the
  clipboard

  “wink” to stdout

Troubleshooting

• If you see blank squares in the emoji grid, these emojis cannot be rendered by
  your terminal’s font.
