emacs -- simple

Hi,

 I have a lot of plugins (CEDET for example) that start up when e-macs
starts.  Sometimes, I just want to open up emacs quickly to edit some
textfile very quickly, and then close it and proceed.  Since I have to SSH
into remote servers, with all of the plugins, the latency is quite
annoying.

Is there a way I can have the regular emacs command open up with all of my
plugins, then have an emacs -s or emacs -simple to open up without the
plugins?

Thanks a lot.

Jai

Would "emacs -q" do what you need? Maybe "man emacs" to read up the basic 
options... ;-)

HTH, :-)

Write a little ~/.emacs-light.el or ~/.emacs-fast.el init file and then launch GNU Emacs as 'emacs -l ~/.emacs-fast.el'!

Proper use of autoload, eval-after-load and some factorization of your
startup files into package specific configuration, plus byte compiling
should reduce startup time significantly. I load some 4.5k lines of
customization in less than 3 seconds.

You should also take a close look at emacsclient and tramp :)

Yes, emacsclient/server (or gnuclient/server).
Yes, `emacs -Q' sometimes.

There is an editor named `jmacs' (I think it stands for `joe
emacs'). Good for quick editing of git commit messages or for dong
interactive rebases.

I used to use `vi' for these operations long back. Since discovering
jmacs, I have abandoned vi for my own good.

You can use GNU Zile[1] (208Ko stripped), which is just what you want: a
true emacs with the minimum to quickly edit files.

As other mentionned, there's emacsclient, but also pay particular attention to the daemon mode.  Quite cool to run emacs as a daemon (you may have an instance of emacs running without having any associated window).

After that, you can have yourself some shortcuts. e.g. et to start a terminal style emacs (e.g. if you are in a shell and do not want another window), or ew, for a seperate window.


That way, you can keep a daemon running on the remote machine, and when you ssh to the remote machine, you can start a window immediately.
