how to make emacs start in a given mode ?

Does anyone know how to start emacs in a given mode?

Actually I use matlab-shell in emacs. Everytime I have to start emacs
first,
and then I can enter matlab-shell mode.
Is there a way to make emacs enter matlab-shell mode automatically when
type some command in the terminal?


Thank you.

Sure, just modify initial-major-mode, e.g.:

(setq initial-major-mode 'python-mode)

You could try:

emacs -f python-mode

-f takes the name of a function to call after starting emacs.

You could try "emacs -f matlab-shell".

What do you mean *every time*?  Why not leave Emacs running and open
files or your shell from within Emacs?

M-x customize-variable RET major-mode RET

Then put in your favorite major-mode (mine is org-mode) and save the
setting.

You can accomplish the same with

(setq-default major-mode 'my-favorite-major-mode)[1]

I have this in my .emacs.el:

(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)

because I like scratch / new buffers to be text mode by default
(rather than Fundamental). You could try something similar with matlab-
shell mode.
