org-mac-link

Insert org-mode links to items selected in various Mac apps.

You can install this package by putting the file org-mac-link.el into your Emacs load-path.

Attention

This package has been heavily refactored to meet some criteria of MELPA like:

• Meeting requirements of package-lint
• Meeting requirements checkdoc
• Reducing warnings when byte compiling

It is possible that your configuration might break if you customized the settings of the package a lot. Please see the commits on the GitLab Repo and in the CHANGES file to see the changes. Mostly changes are the names of functions and Variables, where I added the prefix of the package.
