Emacs Application Framework (EAF) is an extensible framework that brings modern graphical capabilities to Emacs by bridging Emacs Lisp with Python, Qt6, and JavaScript. It ships a suite of applications including a browser, PDF viewer, video player, file manager, and RSS reader that run inside Emacs.
Use cases
- browse the web inside emacs
- view pdf files without leaving emacs
- play videos in emacs
- manage files graphically in emacs
- read rss feeds in emacs
- extend emacs with modern gui applications
When to choose
- you live in emacs and want graphical apps like browsers or pdf viewers embedded in it
- you want to extend emacs with python and qt6 instead of only emacs lisp
- you need multimedia capabilities that emacs lisp cannot provide
When to avoid
- you use emacs only in the terminal without graphical display support
- you want a lightweight setup and don't need graphical applications
- you don't use emacs at all
