Subject: Re: Emacs hangs on current display when the minibuffer is active on another display

Message-ID: <1adb6ea0708202154v142e8eb4vb85b6cb65bcd1fdd@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <E1GSlPn-000405-TO@fencepost.gnu.org>
Is there an eval forn that would cause emacs to exit this loop?
I can do gnuclient -eval from the display where Emacs is
non-functional. I've tried (keyboard-quit) and
(minibuffer-keyboard-quit) but that didn't work. Finally I did (setq
quit-flag t) with the -- foreseeable I guess -- result that Emacs quit
entirely. So maybe there is some hope. A workaround involving -eval
(something) would be perfectly acceptable for me.
Regards,
Ovy
