Allow user to edit web-page textareas with Emacs (and other editors).

Edit with Emacs Chrome Extension

The Edit with Emacs extension enhances your browsing experience by allowing you to edit webpage textareas with the powerful GNU Emacs or other compatible editors. This extension runs alongside an 'Edit Server', enabling robust editing capabilities while adhering to Chrome's security measures that prevent spawning new processes directly from extensions.

Installation is straightforward; just follow the options page instructions after adding the extension. Compatible with GNU Emacs and Aquamacs, the extension does not currently support XEmacs. Plus, it includes various improvements and bug fixes in its recent updates, such as better context menu handling and enhanced keyboard shortcut settings. Discover more servers that utilize the simple URL-based protocol at our project homepage. License: GPL v3.
