Server that responds to edit requests from Chrome
This provides an edit server to respond to requests from the Chrome
Emacs Chrome plugin. This is my first attempt at doing something
with sockets in Emacs. I based it on the following examples:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsEchoServer
http://nullprogram.com/blog/2009/05/17/
To use it ensure the file is in your load-path and add something
like the following examples to your .emacs:
To open pages for editing in new buffers in your existing Emacs
instance:
(when (require 'edit-server nil t)
(setq edit-server-new-frame nil)
(edit-server-start))
To open pages for editing in new frames using a running emacs
started in --daemon mode:
(when (and (require 'edit-server nil t) (daemonp))
(edit-server-start))
Buffers are edited in `text-mode' by default; to use a different
major mode, change `edit-server-default-major-mode' or customize
`edit-server-url-major-mode-alist' to specify major modes based
on the remote URL:
(setq edit-server-url-major-mode-alist
'(("github\\.com" . markdown-mode)))
Alternatively, set the mode in `edit-server-start-hook'. For
example:
(add-hook 'edit-server-start-hook
(lambda ()
(when (string-match "github.com" (buffer-name))
(markdown-mode))))
