This one can spawn the editor of your choice, and would indeed allow you to use this extension without running Emacs:<br /><br />https://github.com/stsquad/emacs_chrome/wiki/edit-server<br />https://github.com/stsquad/emacs_chrome/blob/master/servers/pycl.pyPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12760478278391942483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970055329001593038.post-14530117541716841652012-02-16T07:52:00.722-08:002012-02-16T07:52:00.722-08:00> I got a tip that this can be used to plug int...> I got a tip that this can be used to plug into other editors<br /><br />I would be surprised if this were true (and easy to do).<br /><br />The extension itself gives you some instructions for how to load the requisite code into your Emacs, but there's not much to it (save this, copy and paste that).<br /><br />That's because a substantial part of the functionality of this extension is in the edit server (implemented in Elisp itself), which receives HTTP requests from Chrome and then pops open an Emacs frame for you. While I'm sure you could tweak that to instead spawn some other editor if you wished, it seems weird to have Emacs (or this extension) in the loop at all of you are going to go that route.<br /><br />The Firefox analogue, It's All Text, has no such weirdness because Firefox extensions are directly able to spawn new processes. So from the extension's perspective, all external editors are basically equivalent.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12760478278391942483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970055329001593038.post-68840789773260112592012-02-16T06:59:55.418-08:002012-02-16T06:59:55.418-08:00>> 3.

After configuring the edit server, click "Test Edit Server" to make sure everything is working.<br /><br />Can you elaborate on that bit?<br /><br />Or does this make perfect sense to someone adept at Emacs. I got a tip that this can be used to plug into other editors, but there's still confusion for me.Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725106106075839232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970055329001593038.post-81754880966690079042010-02-01T10:55:48.311-08:002010-02-01T10:55:48.311-08:00Never used offline Gmail on Linux, sorry.Never used offline Gmail on Linux, sorry.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12760478278391942483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970055329001593038.post-12257943763160746752010-02-01T10:26:14.819-08:002010-02-01T10:26:14.819-08:00Have you figured out how to get offline Gmail work...Have you figured out how to get offline Gmail working under Linux, now?
