But automatic sync in Emacs should be quite straightforward and is independent of the mobile end. You can use a timer, for instance: ,----[ C-h f run-with-idle-timer RET ] | run-with-idle-timer is an interactive compiled Lisp function in | ‘timer.el’. | | (run-with-idle-timer SECS REPEAT FUNCTION &rest ARGS) | | Perform an action the next time Emacs is idle for SECS seconds. | The action is to call FUNCTION with arguments ARGS. | SECS may be an integer, a floating point number, or the internal | time format returned by, e.g., ‘current-idle-time’. | If Emacs is currently idle, and has been idle for N seconds (N < SECS), | then it will call FUNCTION in SECS - N seconds from now. Using | SECS <= N is not recommended if this function is invoked from an idle | timer, because FUNCTION will then be called immediately. | | If REPEAT is non-nil, do the action each time Emacs has been idle for | exactly SECS seconds (that is, only once for each time Emacs becomes idle). | | This function returns a timer object which you can use in ‘cancel-timer’. | | [back] `---- > > So whatever you want to provide, make sure sync is automatic.
