SX is a full featured Stack Exchange mode for GNU Emacs 24+. Using the official API, it provides a versatile experience for the Stack Exchange network within Emacs itself.
View questions with one of the sx-tab- commands. These translate to the
different ‘tabs’ that you can view on the official site. Implemented tabs
include:
frontpage- The default front page of questions.
newest- Newest questions first.
topvoted- Highest-voted questions first.
hot- Questions with the most views, answers, and votes over the last few days.
week- Questions with the most views, answers, and votes this week.
month- Questions with the most views, answers, and votes this month.
The meaning of these tabs hopefully needs no explanation, but the official behavior is given as a tooltip on any site in the StackExchange network.
Each of these opens up a list of questions. Switch sites with :. Navigate
this list of questions with jk or np. jk will also view the question in a
separate buffer. v will visit the question in your browser where w will
simply copy a link. Upvote and downvote with u and d. RET will take you
to the question buffer, where RET on headlines will expand and collapse each
section. Add comments with c.
As always, C-h m is the definitive resource for the functions of this mode.
To install the development version, follow the usual steps:
- Clone this repository
- Add this directory to your
load-path - Issue
(require 'sx-load)
This should give you access to the sx-tab- functions (the main entry points at
this time).
If you are going to be doing any asking / answering / commenting / upvoting /
downvoting / etc., you must use sx-authenticate to provide SX with an
authentication token to act on your behalf.
Eventually, this package will be available on MELPA.

SX has no explicit need for an icon, although standard SVG files
have been gathered in resources/ if anyone would fancy a crack at
it.
