1 Org Web Capture Extension ═══════════════════════════ This is an extension for Firefox (tm) and eventually Chromium (tm) which adds a "Capture" button, sending the site address, title, and selected text (if any) to emacs via org-protocol. In case it's a meetup.com event page I will perform an additional API call to meetup.com and get the event details. 2 Detailed setup instructions ═════════════════════════════ 2.1 Install the extension ───────────────────────── Install from addons.mozilla.org website 2.2 Set up org-protocol ─────────────────────── The gist of it is to make your system recognize emacsclient as the handler of `org-protocol://' links. In addition, one needs to set up emacs to load org-protocol and to set up capture templates. 2.2.1 Register emacsclient as the ```org-protocol``` handler ╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌ ◊ 2.2.1.1 Under Linux (non-KDE)
