• An Emacs macOS module

#+HTML:

While extending Emacs is best done in elisp, closer macOS integrations are only possible by using native APIs.

[[https://github.com/SavchenkoValeriy/emacs-swift-module][emacs-swift-module]] enables loading native modules into Emacs, and thus extending with Swift native macOS APIs.

For now, this is mostly an experiment to exercise [[https://github.com/SavchenkoValeriy/emacs-swift-module][emacs-swift-module]] and see where we can take native integrations.

This repo currently includes native Emacs interactive commands to reveal files and share them. For example, AirDrop your current buffer or a selection of dired files.

• Setup

• Open =macos.el= and =M-x eval-buffer=.
• Run =M-x macos-module-dev-reload= to build and load the native module.

• Utilities
