Hello, I have a bash script eless ( https://github.com/kaushalmodi/eless ) that I would like to use to replace 'less' use cases. I would like to do something like: echo "foo" | emacs -Q -nw If I try to do that at the moment, I get emacs: standard input is not a tty So this is a feature request to make emacs ignore if standard input is coming in through another process and not tty. The eless script saves the input from pipe to a temp file and opens that in "emacs -Q -nw" by default. So emacs does not need addition of a feature to read directly from STDIN (as the bash wrapper does it for me). I have noticed that emacsclient does not care if input is not coming from tty. So this bug report is to request emacs to behave the same way. I am calling this a feature request because I see this behavior at least from emacs 24.3 onwards. -- Kaushal Modi
