nyxt.el

nyxt.el consists of custom logic to interact with Nyxt from Emacs. In contrast to other similar packages, it doesn't bundle any Nyxt configuration for you by default. Instead, it aims at providing a rich feature set of custom interactive functions via the nyxt-run entry function. This package requires the SLY Emacs package to interact with the underlying Nyxt Lisp image.

To install the package, simply point to the package in your load-path.

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/nyxt.el")

If you'd like to contribute to the package and get the project set up quickly, it's highly encouraged you install the GNU Guix package manager and start developing on the local checkout by invoking the following commands:

cd /path/to/nyxt.el
guix shell --pure

An example configuration might look like this:

(define-key global-map (kbd "C-c y") 'nyxt-map)
(with-eval-after-load 'nyxt
  (setq nyxt-path (executable-find "guix"))
  (setq nyxt-startup-flags '("shell" "-D" "-f" "path/to/nyxt/build-scripts/nyxt.scm" "--" "path/to/nyxt/nyxt" "-e" "(start-slynk)")))

Above, we set the default bindings included in the nyxt-map to the C-c y global binding and we modify the executable path and the flags supplied to it. By default, this package will spawn a Nyxt process with the -e (start-slynk) flag so it can launch and connect to a Slynk process, but you're free to change these flags, such as if you're developing on Nyxt using guix shell.
