Chrome Emacs

Chrome Emacs enables seamless integration between Chrome's online text editors or textareas and Emacs, allowing you to edit online content directly in Emacs.

Quick Installation and Setup:

1. Install Chrome Emacs Extension: Add Chrome Emacs from the Chrome Web Store to your Chrome browser.
2. Configure Emacs: Install the corresponding Emacs package. You can find a recommended fork or the original Atomic Chrome package for installation instructions and setup details at: https://github.com/KarimAziev/chrome-emacs
3. Run the Server in Emacs: Make sure Emacs is running and execute the atomic-chrome-start-server function.

Usage Instructions:

- Ensure Emacs is running with the server started. Navigate in Chrome to any editable text area or online text editor.
- Activate the Chrome Emacs extension by clicking its icon or using a pre-configured keyboard shortcut to open the content in an Emacs buffer.
- Edit as needed in Emacs; changes will synchronize back to Chrome in real time.

Keyboard Shortcuts Configuration:
- Configure keyboard shortcuts for activating Chrome Emacs by going to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in your Chrome browser. This lets you quickly access editing functions.

Version 0.4.0
- Added an options page, which allows users to configure which letters to use for hints and exit keybindings.
- Pinned icons are now highlighted according to the tab.

Version 0.3.1:
- Fixed an issue on some sites, such as replit.com, where editing failed due to weird ID attribute values in DOM elements. Although IDs that start with a digit are valid in HTML, they require special escaping in CSS selectors.

Version 0.3.0:
- The main feature is the experimental support for vscode.dev, codesandbox.io, and other sites that do not globally expose the Monaco API.
- Improved textarea editing. Previously, e.g., on GitHub, after editing, the submit button would remain disabled. Now, it correctly recognizes changes.
- Hints now also highlight and make editable areas clickable, further improving the recognition of editable areas.
- Added support for coderpad.io.

Version 0.2.2:
- Manually configure file extensions for the Python and Latex languages in CodeMirror.

Version 0.2.1:
