dpaste.el provides functions to post a region or buffer to and put the paste URL into the kill-ring. Inspired by gist.el Current dpaste.com API usage example: curl -si -F 'content=<-' http://dpaste.com/api/v2/ \ | grep ^Location: | colrm 1 10 Thanks to Paul Bissex (http://news.e-scribe.com) for a great paste service. Installation and setup: Put this file in a directory where Emacs can find it. On GNU/Linux it's usually /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ and on Windows it's something like "C:\Program Files\Emacs\site-lisp". Then add the follow instructions in your .emacs.el: (require 'dpaste nil) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c p") 'dpaste-region-or-buffer) (setq dpaste-poster "Guido van Rossum") Then with C-c p you can run `dpaste-region-or-buffer'. With a prefix argument (C-u C-c p), your paste will use the hold option.
