Off-topic, but maybe still useful for someone here: This can be done
without StumpWM, just with Emacs and Firefox:

Hi Dimitri,
I'm not sure why you have to run it twice. I tried the snippet, and I didn't
see the text pop up until the second time I wrote it. As for dropping non-latin
characters: this is a known issue with StumpWM, and one that I'm slowly trying
to address.
If you can get the bugs worked out (or not) you should put this on the wiki
since its a great example of using stumpwm to automate window actions that may
be tedious.

David,
When I run the command for the first time I get the org-mode capture
buffer that goes, for example, like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* GitHub - stumpwm/stumpwm: The Stump Window Manager - Mozilla Firefox
Stumpwm is a window manager written entirely in Common Lisp. It
attempts to be highly customizable while relying entirely on the
keyboard for input. You will not find buttons, icons, title bars, tool
bars, or any of the other conventional GUI widgets.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Than I kill that buffer, get back to Firefox, reselect the paragraph
(because the primary selection contains the killed buffer now) and
repeat the command, getting the correct output:

Doesn't it work like that for you?

Milan,
Thank you very much for the idea. It doesn't seem to be general
enough, but it might work with Firefox. I planned to extend that
command to support other applications. So, in Thunderbird we can get a
link to the current message with Thunderlink extension. In Okular the
current document and the page number may be obtained via dbus -- an
awkward but sometimes useful contraption. That Stumpwm command works
with any program supporting X selections -- xterm, mutt, vim, Skype,
etc. They may have different ways to get the metadata, if any, but the
selected piece of text will be there, available for any other program.
I'm not yet sure if the same can be done using org-protocol.
Thunderbird does support it, but Okular, from what I can tell, does
not.

Hi Dimitri,
I'm excited to hear that you are going to extend this beyond firefox. When
you're ready, feel free to open a PR with stumpwm-contrib and we can add it
there.
