## Description

This layer provides some integration with the Google Chrome browser.

Feature:
- Edit text boxes with Emacs using [edit-server][]

## Install

### Layer

To use this contribution add it to your `~/.spacemacs`

```elisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(chrome))
```

### Chrome extension

[edit-server][] is a server that responds to edit requests sent Chrome via the
Google Chrome extension [Edit with Emacs][]. You have to install this extension.

More information can be found on [Emacs Wiki][].

The edit server is configured to start automatically when Spacemacs starts.

## Configuration

Use `edit-server-url-major-mode-alist` to choose a major mode initialization
function based on `edit-server-url`, or fall back to
`edit-server-default-major-mode` that has a current value of `markdown-mode`.

```elisp
(defun dotspacemacs/config ()
;; Open github text areas as org buffers
;; currently they are opened as markdown
  (setq edit-server-url-major-mode-alist
      '(("github\\.com" . org-mode)))
)
```
