Adding a key delay of zero between typing the unicode for characters makes the time between selecting a character and the selected character showing up faster since the default delay between typing of character of ydotool is 12ms.
To illustrate what I mean, here is a recording of rofimoji typing 🙂 without and with the performance improvement.

We can try this, but I'm not convinced that it will work in all situations. I'll merge it, but if a bug is reported, I'd rather stay with the default delay than make it configurable. Is that okay for you?

Also: Thank you! 🙂

Sure!
I would be interested if that would be happening, so I would be happy if you would ping me if that happens and you still remember this 🙂
