xwidgete How is this to be installed/configured?

Can you please write some lines how to install or configure this? What needs to be loaded/started?

@stefanhusmann You need a Emacs 25 with Xwidget enabled. You can see this guide on how to setup one. After that, installing this package should just work.

An emacs 26.0.50 buid from git will not work?

It should work but did you enable Xwidget webkit support? Does the command xwidget-webkit-browse-url work?

xwidgets configure option was set at compile time, yes.

@stefanhusmann Once you installed it from MELPA, just do (require 'xwidgete) and it should work. The way to test it is to visit a website like Google, move the cursor on the search box and type something or try some Emacs movement commands. If characters appear, then it works. With stock Xwidget browser, you cannot type characters into text box.

I did so. it didi not work, and there is a message in minibuffer: xwidgete-find-active-element: Symbol’s function definition is void: xwidget-webkit-execute-script-rv

Hmm the function is supposed to be in xwidget.el. Could you try (require 'xwidget) then try it again? If it still does not work, probably something is changed in Emacs 26.

emacs recently introduced a new dependency to webkit2gtk a.k.a webkitgtk+, maybe that is the culprit.

Text entry directly in webpage also does not work for me in Emacs 26

xwidget-webkit-execute-script-rv was removed from emacs in 67e03311a0b9091fe98a2cca86c6a6a933fc6e05.
