Emacs Anywhere

Configurable automation + hooks called with application information - zachcurry/emacs-anywhere

Emacs Anywhere launched on March 4, 2018 with 248 votes, #95 of 2,954 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 8 years on.

In plain words

Emacs Anywhere is a tool that brings the Emacs text editor to any application on your computer. It allows users to open an Emacs buffer from within other programs, edit text using Emacs commands and features, then send the edited content back to the original application. Designed for Emacs users who want consistent editing capabilities across their entire system, it bridges the gap between the powerful Emacs environment and everyday applications that don't natively support it.
