Summary

Chrome Emacs enables seamless integration between Chrome's online text editors or textareas and Emacs, allowing you to edit online content directly in Emacs.

Quick Installation and Setup:

  1. Install Chrome Emacs Extension: Add Chrome Emacs from the Chrome Web Store to your Chrome browser.
  2. Configure Emacs: Install the corresponding Emacs package. You can find a recommended fork or the original Atomic Chrome package for installation instructions and setup details at: https://github.com/KarimAziev/chrome-emacs
  3. Run the Server in Emacs: Make sure Emacs is running and execute the atomic-chrome-start-server function.

Usage Instructions:

  • Ensure Emacs is running with the server started. Navigate in Chrome to any editable text area or online text editor.
  • Activate the Chrome Emacs extension by clicking its icon or using a pre-configured keyboard shortcut to open the content in an Emacs buffer.
  • Edit as needed in Emacs; changes will synchronize back to Chrome in real time.
