A tool to insert characters absent from the keyboard using a heredoc*
declaration, dmenu and xdotool.
* https://stackoverflow.com/a/21549836

Dependencies :
    xdotool - command-line X11 automation tool
    dmenu - dynamic menu https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/

Usage :
    First, make the script executable :
        chmod +x dictionary.sh
    Then launch it.
        ./dictionary.sh
    Select the character you would like to type and press ENTER

    Using the i3 window manager, i have put a binding on the combination of
    Super+Shift+y that will launch the script.
        bindsym $mod+Shift+y exec "~/dictionary.sh"
