bug#7741: 23.2.91; Please allow emacs to run emacsclient


From: Reuben Thomas
Subject: bug#7741: 23.2.91; Please allow emacs to run emacsclient
Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2010 12:39:57 +0000

At present, “emacsclient” is a reasonable replacement for “emacs”, in
that emacsclient can be configured to run emacs in daemon mode if it’s
not already running. But it is longer to type, harder to learn, and even
after years of use, I find I have trouble remembering, sometimes to use
it. It also looks odd to use emacsclient rather than emacs in
configuration files like /etc/mailcap. In short, it’s yet another thing
to remember.

Most web browsers fix this problem nicely by using the same command to
start the browser as to open a new window in that browser. It would be
nice if emacs did the same, i.e. if emacs had a -client flag which made
it work like emacsclient. Even if it did something as simple as passing
the remaining arguments to emacsclient.
