why is that not the default behavior then?
- syrrim 11y agoBecause it would take up memory from everyone, including non-emacs users.
- mrighele 11y agoI think that the best default approach would be to start as a normal emacs process but revert to emacsclient behaviour (i.e. just open a new frame) if a running instance of emacs is detected. This is what web browsers do, for example.
- __david__ 11y agoLuckily, all that takes is: alias emacs="emacsclient -a '' -c" But you're right, I wish that were the default.
- branchless 11y agoThe default behaviour is a bare emacs which starts damn near instantly. If you start adding stuff then it takes time to load, but at this point you should know the daemon is an option.
