Emacs Selenium Controller

Overview

The goal of this program is to allow you to control browsers from emacs. It’s in a semi-working state with a bunch of planned features

Installation

Clone the repo and source the load the controller.el file

(load-file"~/git/emacs-selenium-controller/controller.el")

This requires a running python installation and the =selenium=package to be installed

pip3 install selenium

Firefox Webdriver

Grab the latest geckodriver from here and make sure it’s available in your path

Running

Start the browser with the browser-controller command. The browser-controller that’s spawned can be controlled via this interface. This is the default keymap:
