Overview

This program is a GhostText plugin for Acme text editor.

GhostText (https://github.com/GhostText/GhostTex) is a browser extension that allows you to edit text in web pages (e.g. in <textarea>) in various text editors. It interacts with the text editor via a websocket server, such as this program.

By default, this program will listen on localhost port 4001 (GhostText default port). This can be changed with the -port flag. When this program receives a new edit request from GhostText, it'll open a new acme window. Middle clicking on "Put" sends text from acme to the web page. After editing is done, when GhostText closes the websocket connection, the acme window will be automatically closed if it's not dirty.
