Floobits plugin for Emacs
Real-time collaborative editing. Think Etherpad, but with native editors. This is the plugin for Emacs. We also have plugins for Sublime Text and Vim.
Development status: new, but reasonably stable. We've tested it on Emacs 23, but earlier or later versions might work. The plugin requires Python 2.7.
-
cd ~/.emacs.d/
-
git clone https://github.com/Floobits/floobits-emacs.git floobits
-
Add Floobits to your
~/.emacs
:(load "~/.emacs.d/floobits/floobits.el")
-
Add your Floobits username and API secret to
~/.floorc
. You can find your API secret on your settings page. A typical~/.floorc
looks like this:
username myuser
secret gii9Ka8aZei3ej1eighu2vi8D
vim_executable mvim
You'll need to Restart Emacs once you've installed the plugin.
