Agree, browser-based front-ends make so much sense today - conceivably including one for emacs (which can work in the client-server mode anyway).

- tsimionescu 7y agoWould you realistically be able to bind enough emacs keybinds in a web page so that it feels natural? Or would you need some extra extension to help with that? I'm not very familiar with how easy it is to capture browser keybinds in a web page.
- alexhutcheson 7y agoYou pretty much need an extension that runs in a separate window. You can already use Emacs through the Secure Shell[1] Chrome extension, but if you run it in a tab the browser eats too many key combinations for it to be useful. If you launch it in a separate window, then very few key combinations get intercepted and it works quite well.
