5select from a tiny database of cute little kaomojis, powered by [skate](https://github.com/charmbracelet/skate) and [gum](https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum)!

7this project was inspired by me wanting to take the AI out of [this charm CLI recipe](https://charm.sh/blog/kamoji-generator/) and instead use their `skate` key-value store.

21make both scripts executable:
22
23```bash
24chmod a+x install-db.sh
25chmod a+x kaomoji.sh
26```
27then run the `install` command, or `kaomoji.sh` will fail:

33## usage
34
35just run `./kaomoji.sh`! you will be given a list of kaomojis in the database to choose from. you can also search it :) navigate with the arrow keys.
36
37once you've found your desired kaomoji, hit `enter`, and it will copy to your keyboard and print to the terminal, or if `xsel` or `pbcopy` are unavailable, it will only print.
38
39and you have your kaomoji :)
