\nI’ve written before about EXWM<\/a> and its use as a window manager for
\nsystems running on X Windows. The basic idea is that Emacs becomes
\nyour windows manager and other applications run in an Emacs buffer.\n<\/p>\n

\nThat’s a boon for those of us who strive to spend as much of our tube
\ntime as possible in Emacs. It’s pretty easy\u2014at least it was for me\u2014to
\nget all your frequently used application functionality, except for your
\nbrowser, under Emacs. With EXWM, you can have even your browser\u2014your
\nreal<\/i> browser, not eww<\/code>\u2014run in an Emacs
\nbuffer.\n<\/p>\n

\nIf you’d like to see it in action, Uncle Dave has a video<\/a> that
\ndemonstrates setting up and using EXWM. It’s a little finicky to set
\nthings up but once you do it runs just like any other window manager.\n<\/p>\n

\nI’d really like to try it out but, sadly, it only runs under X Windows
\nand I’m on a Mac. If you’re running a Linux machine, it’s easy to try
\nit out because it’s just another window manager and you aren’t
\ncommitting to a long term relationship with it. It’s possible, as
\nUncle Dave’s video shows, to change window managers when you log in.\n<\/p>\n

\nI don’t think that EXWM is the perfect end state but it comes close.
\nWhat I’d really like is to be able to run a browser in Emacs. That’s
\nbeing worked on so perhaps we’ll see it before too long. In the mean
\ntime, EXWM is an excellent solution to bringing everything under the
\nEmacs umbrella.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
