+By default, `rofimoji` types the characters using either `xdotool`, `wtype`, `ydotool`, or `wl-ime-type` (see [display server support](#display-server-support)). You can enforce this behavior with `--action type` (`-a type`).
 
 For some applications (f.e. Firefox), this does not work reliably. To work around this, `rofimoji` can copy the emojis to your clipboard and insert them from there with `shift+insert`. Afterwards, it will restore the previous contents.
 Unfortunately, it depends on the receiving application whether `shift+insert` uses the clipboard or the primary selection.
