# 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:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
plugins=(... emacs)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Aliases
|
|
|
|
The plugin uses a custom launcher (which we'll call here `$EMACS_LAUNCHER`) that is just a wrapper around [`emacsclient`](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsClient).
|
|
|
|
| Alias | Command | Description |
|
|
|--------|----------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| emacs | `$EMACS_LAUNCHER --no-wait` | Opens a temporary emacsclient frame |
|
|
| e | `emacs` | Same as emacs alias |
|
|
| te | `$EMACS_LAUNCHER -nw` | Open terminal emacsclient |
|
|
| eeval | `$EMACS_LAUNCHER --eval` | Same as `M-x eval` but from outside Emacs |
|
|
| eframe | `emacsclient --alternate-editor "" --create-frame` | Create new X frame |
|
|
| efile | - | Print the path to the file open in the current buffer |
|
|
| ecd | - | Print the directory of the file open in the the current buffer |
