This brings a lot of improvements and fixes, the most relevant being immediate persistence of settings and watching the settings file for external changes. To make this feasible also for restoring the history, a lot of work went into generating static emoji data that can be used efficiently (e.g. containing a hash table to find an emoji quickly).
BTW, this even works on #NFS, so if you have your home shared and you're running qXmoji on two machines as the same user, the history will auto-update in both instances 🥳
