           Summary: external editor: string replace for the window id to
                    be used with xembed
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.5
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: arne_bab at web.de


Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

I’ve been experimenting with emacs as standard-editor for the composer, and I
stumbled upon xembed: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsXembed

By passing emacs the window ID of the parent window, it seems that it can be
embedded in the window. 

So I’d like to see an option to not only add the file to the command via %f,
but also to add the window ID of the composer text-area (or an overlay) via %w
or similar. 

With that, any external editor should be embeddable as if it were the native
one. 

Well, I could also spell this bug as „I’d like to embed emacs directly into
kmail instead of opening it in a seperate window or switching to a running
emacs window“ :)

Reproducible: Didn't try




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34-gentoo-r6
Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
