Chrome layer
Description
This layer provides some integration with the Google Chrome browser.
Features
- Edit text boxes with Emacs using edit-server
Install
Layer
To use this contribution add it to your ~/.spacemacs
(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.
(defun dotspacemacs/user-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))))
To change frame defaults (width, height, etc. use edit-server-new-frame-alist)
(add-to-list 'edit-server-new-frame-alist '(width . 140))
(add-to-list 'edit-server-new-frame-alist '(height . 60))
If you want Emacs to switch focus to Chrome after done editing, you can utilize edit-server-done-hook.
Emacs cannot control focus of windows for external apps, so you need to use some sort of command line window manager like wmctrl.
The following example works on OS X:
(add-hook 'edit-server-done-hook (lambda () (shell-command "open -a \"Google Chrome\"")))
