Package: emacs Version: 1:27.1+1-3 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-emac...@lists.debian.org
At the moment, it is possible to select emacs using the alternatives system, select-editor, or sensible-editor, but not emacsclient. I assume, that starting a new emacs instance for every editing task is not desirable for most users. Setting the EDITOR variable to emacsclient works for me, but in some cases an "emacs-wrapper" might be better: ``` #!/usr/bin/bash eval exec emacsclient --alternate-editor= --create-frame ${*@Q} ``` The switch --alternate-editor= with an empty argument lets emacsclient start emacs, if no emacs server is found. I'm not sure, whether --create-frame is a good idea or not. I suggest to add such an emacs-wrapper to the package and declare it as alternative editor.
