Open URLs from GNU Emacs in Conkeror in a new buffer

<em><a href="Non-Sumou.html">Other GNU Emacs tips</a></em></p>

If you use <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a> you should check out <a href="http://conkeror.org/">Conkeror</a>. It's a web browser, running on a Xulrunner core, like Firefox, that you can control completely via the keyboard, with the same shortcuts as GNU Emacs.</p>

To set up Conkeror as the default browser, to open Web URLs from GNU Emacs, and to make these URLs be opened in Conkeror's new buffer, instead of a new instance:</p> <ul> <li>Add the following to <strong>.emacs</strong>: <table bgcolor="#000000" border="1"><tr><td border="0"><font color="#FFFF00"><b>(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic<br /> browse-url-generic-program "/path/to/conkeror")</b></td></tr></table></li> <li>Add the following to <a href="http://conkeror.org/ConkerorRC">Conkeror RC</a>: <table bgcolor="#000000" border="1"><tr><td border="0"><font color="#FFFF00"><b>url_remoting_fn = load_url_in_new_buffer;</b></td></tr></table></li> </ul>

Now it'll open weblinks in Conkeror, and these in a new buffer everytime, inside a running instance of Conkeror, rather than opening a new Conkeror window. <!— Page published by Emacs Muse ends here —> </div> <i>To send me feedback about this page, use the below email.</i><br /> <b>© sumoudou.org 2010</b><br /> <img style="border:0" alt="sumoudou.org" src="email.gif" width="129" height="10" /><br /> <a href="http://www.gnu.org/" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="border:0" alt="GNU" src="powered-by-gnu.png" />]] <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="border:0" alt="GNU Emacs" src="made-with-emacs.png" />]] <a href="http://hcoop.net/" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="border:0" alt="HCoop" src="hcoop-proud-member.png" />]] <a href="http://hcoop.net/" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="border:0" alt="HCoop" src="hosted-by-hcoop.png" />]] <a href="http://mwolson.org/projects/EmacsMuse.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="border:0" alt="Emacs Muse" src="made-with-muse.png" />]] <a href="http://mwolson.org/projects/EmacsMuse.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="border:0" alt="Emacs Muse" src="powered-by-muse.png" />]] <br /> <a href="http://www.fsf.org/resources/formats/playogg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="border:0" alt="Ogg" src="play-ogg.png" />]] <a href="http://www.catb.org/hacker-emblem/" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="border:0" alt="Glider" src="glider.png" />]] <a href="http://ubuntu.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="border:0" alt="Ubuntu" src="ubuntu.png" />]] <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="border:0" alt="Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict!" src="valid-xhtml10-blue.png" />]] <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="border:0" alt="Valid CSS!" src="valid-css-blue.png" />]] <br />Last updated 2010-01-04-184444
