Shamelessly capitalizing on this popular thread with an on-topic
post...
Ironically, for people who _just use emacs_, this isn't really
relevant.
For everyone else: A while ago, I brought up the idea of setting up
Emacs as a filter sitting between you and your applications. This
should enable scripting of pretty much any user interaction. I also
was curious about the possibilities for using Emacs functions (like
search, copy) inside of other X applications (e.g. a graphical
webbrowser).
This seems like a good place to bring these ideas up again, with one
additional piece of information. The program Xnee seems like it could
be wrapped or repackaged in Emacs to facilitate full-blown scripting.
Making the text and other UI components of all windows accessible to
Emacs would seem to require some fundamental changes to a lot of
programs or to X or both. :(
