I let buffers build up I used to do that, but realized that (in my case) it complicated the buffer-switching – often had to go through a long list of buffers or many partial-name-matches before finding the right one. > In your other post, adding --no-wait is likely to cause issues with some > uses, I would imagine, where the invoking program thinks you are done... Thank you for the warning. Yes I fear that. I'll check what happens next time I invoke such a program. Incidentally, I saw hat in the folder where Emacs (28.1 in my case) gets compiled, it creates an "emacsclient.desktop" file with the following quite complex call: sh -c "if [ -n \\"\\$*\\" ]; then exec emacsclient --alternate-editor= --display=\\"\\$DISPLAY\\" \\"\\$@\\"; else exec emacsclient --alternate-editor= --create-frame; fi" placeholder %F I suppose it's written this way to take care of different displays. I'll report later on how things are going with this setup, if anyone is interested. One last comment: I also found it useful to set "server-client-instructions" to 'nil'. Thank you again Eric! Luca
