How to use 🤔

This plugin was tested with:

• Wez's Terminal - MacOS, GNU/Linux and Windows recomended
• iTerm - MacOS
• Kitty - GNU/Linux
• Windows Terminal - Windows

This plugin depends on vim-devicons or kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons. With this dependency satisfied the plugin should work out of box.

Also the editor will be using Emoji fonts (version 12), so one have to be configured.

For skywind3000/asyncrun.vim you use the Emoji_Icon_Theme_Asyncrun() function to show on the statusline.
