open file in the same emacs window from krusader

open file in the same emacs window from krusader

[Stefan Horomnea]

Hello,

I use Krusader for navigating very quickly to files (i have shortcuts 
and a quick navigation) , and when I find the right file, if I have the 
emacs opened, I just drag the file from Krusader in emacs space and
emacs opens my file. This is awesome. Cause I locate the files much 
quicker with Krusader than emacs. But. Like most of you, probably I try 
to work very much with keys instead of mouse.
I want to open the file under the cursor (in Krusader) in the already 
opened emacs window but not with the drag and drop technic, instead I 
want to open it with a key shortcut. I know how to do a key shortcut in 
Krusader, to execute a bash command. But I don't know what bash command 
to give it (with the file as an argument of course) so that the already 
opened emacs will open that file.
Do you have any idea how can I attack this problem ?


thanks,
stefan

Emacslient is the way:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsClient
If you have an emacs running you can open files within the bash with
emacslient foofile
You have to activate emacs server with putting (server-start) to your
~/.emacs for example. Or to give a try type M-x server-start from
within emacs.

put (server-start) to your .emacs file. Then you can use the emacsclient 
command to 'connect' to the open emacs window.

Hello,

I start the server. And then I get the following error: emacsclient: 
can't stat /tmp/esrv500-c4: Success

thanks,

It can be a bug.
I can produce the same error message if I try to open a file with:
emacsclient. As I am using emacs-snapshot I have to type:
emacsclient.emacs-snapshot

I am sure Krusader is a nice tool and that you can find files faster
there than you can in Emacs, but I just wanted to suggest you check
out some of the different modules people have built on top Emacs, to
make finding files easy. Some of these modules are listed here:

Just out of curiosity, how do you find files in Krusader quickly?
