Use the power of emacs and org-mode to sort and search your Steam library. Also includes functionality to launch Steam games from Emacs.
The easiest way is to install steam.el from MELPA. Then add the following to your init-file:
(setq steam-username "Username") ;; Replace Username with your steam usernamesteam.el can not get a list of your games unless your Steam profile is public. Visit https://steamcommunity.com/id/username/edit/settings (where username is replaced with your Steam username). Set your profile to Public and make sure that Game details is set to Public.
Here steam-username refers to the text in the CUSTOM URL field in your Steam account profile settings (you need to set one if there is nothing there).
- To launch a game:
M-x steam-launch - To insert your game list in org-mode format:
M-x steam-insert-org-text - Download logotypes for your games, and insert them into org-mode:
M-x steam-insert-org-images - To update your game list (if you’ve installed new games without
restarting Emacs):
M-x steam-get-games
In org-mode, you can click links in order to run your games. This
will bring up a pop-up, asking if it is safe to run the lisp-code.
If this annoys you, put this line at the top of your .org-file:
#-*- org-confirm-elisp-link-function: nil; -*-
If you insert the logotype images into org-mode, make sure to turn
on org-display-inline-images. You can also put
#+STARTUP:inlineimages at the top of your .org-file.
