Where to set the environment variables? about bemoji HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @davebooi , sorry for taking so long in answering.

Maybe you have figured it out already, but let me quickly answer you nonetheless.
The environment variables are not set in a file but in your 'shell environment'.
That means they should be set for the instance of bemoji that you call, or in your overall environment - there are many guides online, one that I think could be helpful is for example this one.

For bemoji itself that means when you want to set fuzzel as a picker, you have a couple options:

If you just want to try that everything works you can simply first set the value BEMOJI_PICKER_CMD="fuzzel -d" and then start bemoji normally. This value will persist until you close that specific session.

To make it persist longer you have a couple options, provided in the article above. However, what I would suggest is simply to prepend your normal bemoji command with the variable assignment - the value will then only persist for running the command and not pollute your external environment. Like this in the terminal:

BEMOJI_PICKER_CMD="fuzzel -d" bemoji

It basically rolls up the previous statements into one.

Hope this helped for a start, and if it did we can maybe close the issue?
