23.0.60; emacsclient -t not working within "less" |
|

1) start emacs with "emacs -q -f server-start &"
2) export VISUAL="emacsclient -t"
2) less .bashrc
3) within less type "v" to edit file with $VISUAL
the result is that less writes a line
"!emacsclient -t +18 .bashrc" on the terminal, but other than that the
terminal is still showing the output of less. emacsclient
is not taking over the terminal, and no editing is possible.
Using "ps auxw" in another terminal, emacsclient appears in the
process list, though. The only thing I can do in the "less terminal"
is to type "C-c" to resume viewing the .bashrc file.
The problem seems to be specific to "emacsclient -t", since both
export VISUAL="emacsclient -c"
and
export VISUAL="emacs -nw"
work as expected.
The same problem occurs in both xterm and konsole.

That seems to work fine for me too. I checked in the fix. Thanks.
