This plugin replicates the functionality of the emacs plugin for oh-my-zsh. It is essentially a wrapper around the very useful emacs daemon capability.

Below is an extract from the original plugin source file:

"Emacs 23 daemon capability is a killing feature. One emacs process handles all your frames whether you use a frame opened in a terminal via a ssh connection or X frames opened on the same host. Benefits are multiple

• You don't have the cost of starting Emacs all the time anymore
• Opening a file is as fast as Emacs does not have anything else to do.
• You can share opened buffered across opened frames.
• Configuration changes made at runtime are applied to all frames."

To use this plugin add emacs to fish_plugins in you fish config file:

set fish_plugins emacs

Emacs 23 or later is required for this plugin.
