+`tessen` will automatically use the following environment variables if they're set or assume
+reasonable defaults.

+- `PASSWORD_STORE_DIR` (the default location of your password store)
+- `PASSWORD_STORE_CLIP_TIME` (the amount of time for which password-store data stays on the
+  clipboard)
+- `TESSEN_BACKEND` (choose either `bemenu` or `rofi` as the backend for `tessen`)
+- `TESSEN_ACTION` (choose to either `autotype`, `copy`, or do `both` at the same time)
