What I would like to achieve one instance of emacs if i open any text file from nautilus, it should open in the current emacs instance if i close emacs, it shouldn't really close it, just hide it What I have currently I set emacs23 to start at startup I have (start-server) in my init I leave emacs open I have emacsclient as the default texteditor Issues I encountered while trying to achieve what I wanted emacs gives the following error if i quit emacs and try to start it again File error: Cannot bind server socket, address already in use Things I tried emacs wiki stackoverflow emacs fu Update: I tried again with the stackoverflow link, and now most of it is working. However, something I would like to be able to do is to reload the init file, so that I can make changes to my init file without restarting the computer. Any ideas? Also, if the server is running and I have emacs false-closed (see emacs fu link), how can i start it again without loading a file? eg what would the equivalent of running emacs23 be, as this doesn't work (see error written above)
