Emacs plugin
This plugin utilizes the Emacs daemon capability, allowing the user to quickly open frames, whether they are opened in a terminal via a ssh connection, or X frames opened on the same host. The plugin also provides some aliases for such operations.
- You don't have the cost of starting Emacs all the time anymore
- Opening a file is as fast as Emacs does not have anything else to do.
- You can share opened buffered across opened frames.
- Configuration changes made at runtime are applied to all frames.
NOTE: requires Emacs 24 and newer.
To use it, add emacs to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
plugins=(... emacs)
Aliases
The plugin uses a custom launcher (which we'll call here $EMACS_LAUNCHER) that is just a wrapper around emacsclient.

| e | emacs |

| eeval | $EMACS_LAUNCHER --eval |
