[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi folks,

Similar to the existing ns-do-show-character-palette command, this 
patch exposes a native macOS context dialog.

The new addition enables users to share (send) text or files to 
other apps.

Examples:

- Send current buffer file.
- Send a list of dired files.
- Send region text.

I'm keen to polish the patch a bit more, but wanted to pre-fly 
things before investing further.

Overall it's a nice/convenient addition. I use it frequently to 
quickly send things to my phone over local network/Bluetooth.

I'm attaching a couple of screenshots showcasing a couple of uses:

share-dired-files.jpg (send files from dired)
share-region-text.jpg (send region text)

Hope you like it.

Álvaro
