Emacs with Nyxt

This is some little hack to make Emacs command Nyxt. In particular this provides a function to browse URLs via Nyxt run via Slime.

The dependencies are:

• Slime
• Nyxt (ideally installed via Guix if you are on Linux)

You can find here the blogs that explain in more detail how this works:

For MacOS

Please follow the instructions here: https://github.com/deddu/nyxt-docker

Then set (setq shell-command-switch "-ic") and add to your .zshrc file (substitute your user for <your-user>)

alias nyxt="xterm -e 'xhost +127.0.0.1; docker run -it -p 4006:4006 -v /Users/<your-user>:/root/ --rm bigdeddu/nyxt:2.2.1'"

After that you should have everything to run emacs-with-nyxt. And make sure Swank or Sly use 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost.
