dmenu-emacs-daemon

Start/kill the Emacs daemon fast and easily in rofi/dmenu

Usage

If you are a rofi user, use the script under rofi directory; if you use dmenu, use the script under dmenu directory.

Usage:
- start: Choose the Emacs server and start the client to communicate it.
- kill:  Choose the Emacs server to kill.

Start

Usage '<script-name> start':
- -d <dir> or --server-dir <dir>
  - Specify the directory where Emacs server sockets live, default is '/run/user/1000/emacs/'.
- -t, -nw,  --tty
  - Create the client frame on the current terminal

Kill

Usage '<script-name> kill':
- -d <dir> or --server-dir <dir>
  - Specify the directory where Emacs server sockets live, default is '/run/user/1000/emacs/'.

Note

You still can pass environment variables into Emacs, like:

LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8 TERM=xterm-direct ./rofi/emacs-daemon.sh start 

These variables are for my input method and true color support.

Issue

If you find the emacsclient can not start normally, it probably because the permission of the socket directory is not 700:
