Interactive mode with terminal emacs #15

Closed asmeurer closed 8 years ago

asmeurer commented 8 years ago

The interactive mode doesn't really work with the terminal emacs (emacs compiled with --without-x), because the new instance can't load in the same terminal. Perhaps it could be made to work by starting a server and giving the user a command to connect to it with emacsclient in another terminal tab. At the very least, you might want to detect this and warn that it won't work.

Thanks for noticing this. I'll add some detection for this when I get a chance. :+1:

Speaking of it, does anyone know of a way to detect X support?

Is this what you are looking for https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/7151/is-there-a-way-to-detect-that-emacs-is-running-in-a-terminal? Or do you want to know if X is supported at all (even if the current session is started in -nw mode)?

I think just checking if we're in a terminal should be enough.
