OSX, emacspeak, crome interaction

["T. V. Raman" <tv.raman.tv@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm personally not interested in OSX, but I do use ChromeVox as
my primary browser on Linux, with Emacspeak doing the rest on
Linux. Note:I still use emacs/w3  for reading content; but
chromevox for interactive Web sites.

In my case, I run stumpwm as the window manager and switching
between chrome and emacs is the same as switching screens in
screen.  From emacs  I bind a key to invoke a chrome-specific
browse-url-function when I want to hand a URL to Chrome; I also
use the emacs kill-ring and then paste the URL into the Chrome
Address bar when I need to.

Finally for emacs <-> Chrome integration, check out package kite.
