A possibility is to create a shell script which calls emacs with the nw flag, e.g.: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #!/bin/sh emacs -nw --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Then put the location of the script instead of the location of emacs executable in the relevant line of the /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/editor file.
