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:

sx-tab-all-questions

All questions.

sx-tab-unanswered

Unanswered questions.

sx-tab-unanswered-my-tags

Unanswered questions in your followed tags.

sx-tab-featured

Featured questions.

sx-tab-starred

Your starred questions.

Each of these opens up a list of questions, and you can further customize the ordering of the list with O. Other keys include:

s s

Switch site.

n and p

Navigate the list.

j and k

Navigate while viewing the question in a separate buffer.

v

Visit the thing-at-point in your browser

w

Copy the thing-at-point (usually a link).

u and d

Upvote and downvote.

RET

Open the question buffer.

As always, C-h m is the definitive resource for the functions of this mode.

SX is now available on MELPA! Both the stable release and the development version can be found there. Install it via the Package Menu or just run

M-x package-install RET sx RET=

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.
