#   Q:  What's this rofi-autokey?
#   A:  Just in case 'autokey-git' shouldn't work, this little bash script
#   lets you search your autokey's dataset by filename and contents via rofi,
#   obtaining the wanted item in clipboard and/or in stdout.
#   Can be invoked by its name or via a sxhkd shortcut.
#######################################################################################
#   Requires    : autokey, rofi, xdotool, xclip, optional sxhkd, mc
