[vimb-users] Accessing vimb from the GNU Emacs

[klaus schilling]

Hi,

I've achieved using the Unix domain socket of the GNU Emacs to connect
with a recent vimb version without the need of a relay such as
socat. Yet it involves a lot of manual work, and I only use it for
simple tasks. If I achieve to do more useful stuff this way,
may I report on it in the list, or is the e-monster taboo here?

Hi Klaus
Nice to read that the socket feature is in use. I personally use this only for
the form filler script at the moment. It would be nice when you can report
more of you work here on the list, even if I think the most vimb users won't
use Emacs. I think to see your work will inspire others too to use the socket
in a creative way too.

In the mozilla/xulraunner world, there is mozrepl, a nbrowser addon that
reads input from aq tcp/ip port and evaluates it as javascdript in the
browser's environment. There is a n emacs interface for it, which I try
to port, if feasible, for vimb with the socket interface.

Mozrepl itself can be put to good use without the emacs fronted. See

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Automatically_refresh_display_of_html_on_saving_file

for a way to use mozrepl from vim for some good purpose.
