Browse Url
Superhacker Federico Mena-Quintero talks about using Emacs for
GTD. I do something similar but in a less organized fashion. He
mentions that it would be nice if it were better integrated with the
desktop. For URLs, I’ve been using the browse-url package for many
years. Dropping the following line into your .emacs enables the
feature.
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b") 'browse-url)
Pressing C-c b parses the text around the cursor for a plausible URL
and uses that as the default. Pressing enter will open the default
browser with the chosen URL.
Pretty cool, huh?
