more config .emacs files

more config .emacs files

[srb]

hi all

in my emacs i am using desktop-save-mode, so every time a start my emacs 
i have all my buffers opened.  But  very often i am using also "emacs 
-nw" from terminal just to quickly edit some config when doing some 
other work. But i do not want to use these desktop-save-mode. So i try 
to use some other options not to use default config .emacs. There is a 
option to use other users .emacs which is working ok(but you have to 
create this user, or have an access to his config), but i believe there 
should be other way how to tell emacs which config to use.

does anyone was solving this by other way?
thank you

Check for window-system. It it's nil then you're working without  
windows in terminal ...


Are you building weapons with GNU Emacs' help?

That's what the multi-tty was written for, imho :). Instead of running
emacs -nw, run emacsclient -t and it will open a tty frame of the
already running emacs. It will be even faster than running a bare
"emacs --no-init-file" (which should be enough to "quickly edit some
config ", by the way).

thank you very much for replay

emacsclient is very nice, unless you do not want to open file in your 
already running emacs.
--no-init-file is also good choice, but you will loose your modes 
settings for python, haskell or other files.

so i believe the good way to solve this, is using some other config. 
When working on my personal machine, i use config of root user. But when 
working on machine only as client, i do not have this chance. And using 
.emacs config of root is also not very nich trick!

haha, no problem

as normaly i am whole day working with some source codes in my gui 
emacs. But few times a day i am configuring some things on linux from 
command line, and i need to edit some files. As i am bored with mcedit, 
i would like to use emacs in terminal mode. But do not want to switch to 
my gui emacs.

just want to edit some code, use crtl+z to check from command line if it 
is ok, if not go back with fg and work more.

i know i can do all of this from emacs, to have half of emacs with code 
and second half of shell. But it would be nice to have option to open 
emacs with other than default config.

What about making an alias, checking (car (commandline-args))
in .emacs and than load .emacs-foo or .emacs-bar.

I thought so. That's why I spoke of multi-tty emacs and the -t option
for emacsclient. In multi-tty emacs you can launch the gui version of
emacs and then, using 'emacsclient -t', open _tty_ frames. Or vice
versa. Read here: http://lorentey.hu/project/emacs.html.hu

Of course, you'll need to compile Emacs from CVS.

BTW, if disabling desktop is all you need, you can use the option
'--no-desktop' (since version 22). Or, say, use '--eval' to set a
variable which you will check in .emacs before reading the desktop
file.
