It would be nice if the code could end up in github. Also, more importantly, I need to disable that cursor blinking (peripheral blinky things make me feel like dying).

#42This is something I've wanted to make, I'll be reading through the source to work on my Javascript knowledge. Now I need a Chrome plugin to make every text entry box work like this (Edit With Emacs didn't do it for me last time I tried, I habitually type C-x s and that was closing my buffer and returning to the browser).
You can rebind keys to do different things in Emacs, and make Edit With Emacs behave any way you want.

#43I'd love for this to work universally but it looks like capturing CTRL-N (line-down) is a wontfix in chrome :( Should we lobby and open a new bug?

#45Funny that this doesn't work even a little bit with Conkeror (Web browser with emacs keybindings). Pretty sweet otherwise.

#46Super Dee Duper! I cracked myself up when trying C-M-q using the Command (clover) key on my mac, which of course was seen as CMD-Q by the browser, which for you non OS X folks means QUIT.
I tried it wondering if it would quit the browser, but it didn't. (I'm using Firefox)
First thing I tired as well using Chrome. A little disappointing but you cant have it all.

#47The problem is I need an emacs/vim/TextMate style editor for the iPad usable in the airplane. I really wish TextMate would become available on iOS.
And really, do you want to be pressing multiple keys at the same time like you would for emacs hot keys on an iPad? I'm not an avid user, but those motions seem incredibly unnatural.
C-X, C-S to save? and that's just the beginning.
vim suffers similarly, though probably not to the same extent. An editor that takes advantage of the iPad's touch screen would be superior, imo

#48Now what I'd really like is the reverse: Webkit in an emacs buffer. That would totally rock I'd never have to leave emacs. I wonder how hard it would be to hack something up like that?
Maybe you could hack uzbl into emacs

I'm testing on Chrome 9.0.570.0 dev on win7 right now. CTRL-N causes a new window to open.
Curious if this is platform specific.
Can you switch to dev and let me know what results you get? If different than a new bug is warranted.

Closest I've ever come across is Conkeror (http://conkeror.org) That's using Gecko instead of WebKit but it's still a great project. It's my primary browser.
