but i cannot run it with an app-script unless i give the full path to emacsclient. its a good workaround, but i think its not general enough. i dont think that this functionality is something for a dotfile or a script you make again and again for your machines. i think its something basic thats needs to be available, like the full emacs app. what do you think? i could try to implement it, in a local branch, and then submit a pull request. would that be of interest? -- Pavlos Vinieratos On 18 February 2016 at 04:10:41, Glenn Morris (rgm@gnu.org) wrote: It seems to me that emacsclient -a "" -c does what you want, and you should be able to bind that to whatever action/icon you wish.
