emacsclient starting with xbindkeys

emacsclient starting with xbindkeys

[Harry Putnam]

Trying to get onto how to use emacsclient handily.

I've run into a couple of problems.

Summary:
  I hoped to be a able to start two servers with `emacs --daemon=name'
  
  and connect to them using keyboard bindings by way of xbindkeys which
  is a small package that allows you to set keyboard combos to start
  things or issue commands inside an X session.
  
    For example:
  
   "xterm -bg black -fg papayawhip"
       control+shift + t
  
  (in ~/.xbinkeysrc)
  
  Allows me to start an xterm with `C-Shift-t'  while in an xsesssion
  (with xbindkeys also running, of course)
 
  Anyone know how to start an emacsclient in that manner?


Details:
  I've started the server with `emacs --daemon=name'
  
  But something like:
  
   "emacsclient -s name -c"
       control+shift + e
  
  Doesn't work although:
  
          emacsclient -s name -c
  
  works as expected when called from a running xterm.
  
  I've tried both of these notations as well... but didn't work
  
    "emacsclient -s name -c &"
       control+shift + e
  
    "emacsclient -s name -c -d :0"
       control+shift + e
  
  
  Starting the emacsclient from an xterm with or without the `&'
  operator provides normal connection to the daemon, but then I have to
  have an xterm running to support the emacsclient frame.
  
  Not a huge deal but I'd rather be able to start the emacsclient from
  an xbindkeys command.
