Important Notes on Functionality:

If you encounter any rare issues with "Paste to text field," please reach out to us to share your experience. In the meantime, you can always use "Copy to clipboard," which works universally. We're proud that even as browser technologies evolve (e.g., execCommand() deprecation), Synballo is designed to maintain functionality on a significant portion of websites, ensuring its long-term utility.

We understand that some users prefer keyboard-only workflows. If this is your preference, consider using the built-in Win + period(.) emoji menu in Windows or exploring other specialized extensions. Synballo is optimized for its unique efficiency model.

Note on Duplicates:
(!) No duplicates. If you find two emoji looking the same, do not rush to report! There are a bunch of emoji sequences with one character difference (fe0f) at the end of each sequence, which are distinct unicode entries.

Permissions Justification:
* activeTab permission is required to paste symbols into the text field.
* scripting permission is required to insert the symbol into the text field of the activeTab and update the caret location.
* storage permission is required to store your settings and recently used characters across all of your devices.
