Send Signal messages from GNU Emacs using signal-cli.

This is not a chat program. You can only send individual messages. No receiving is possible.

• Make sure that you have signal-cli program installed and configured.
  • Official documentation of signal-cli explains how to configure it. E.g., the command below works for me for linking, YMMV.

    signal-cli link --name silver | head -1 | qrencode --type=UTF8
            

• Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/mrkrd/signal-msg.git

• Update the load-path:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/path/to/signal-msg"))

• Load signal-msg:

(require 'signal-msg)

• Configure your phone number:

(setq signal-msg-username "+14155550132")

• Call signal-msg-new-message:

M-x signal-msg-new-message

• Select contact
• Write message
• Call signal-msg-send
