Kite live editing

Question

I really like the idea behind Kite – using WebKit's own protocol for remote debugging. No need for a proxy socket server or a bookmarklet to connect to a web-page (that's how swank-js operates).

The project's readme states that Kite...

"enables ... live-editing Web pages".

However, while kite-scratch works fine, I can't eval defuns or whole buffer while not in the kite scratch.

Is it possible to eval JavaScript with Kite in any buffer other than kite-scratch?

It looks like kite-scratch-mode is a mode derived from javascript-mode, so you might just be able to use M-x kite-scratch-mode to enable the kite-scratch bindings in your javascript file.

I'm sure it's not designed for that, though, and so you might consider asking the author for a minor mode which supplies bindings similar to those of swank-js or js-comint.

Yes, I've tried that. When you do `kite-scratch-eval`, it says `kite-session-websocket accessing a non-kite-session`. – katspaugh Jan 18 '13 at 12:06
Steve, I've made a request for the minor mode. Thanks! – katspaugh Jan 18 '13 at 23:18
