xah-fly-keys mode using emacsclient/server #153

Closed inuritdino closed 3 months ago

Hi,

I've found some misleading behaviour, once you use emacs server and connect to it via emacsclient -t (terminal) or emacsclient -c (GUI/standalone), the client opens with the mode indicator being c, however, the actual state is i and any keystroke produces the corresponding letter, and you can type in any text for as long as you like.

Current workaround is to hit the command-mode switch key (xah-fly-command-mode-activate) immediately after a new frame/terminal is opened. In this case, the indicator does not change, but in the background truly switches to the command mode. After this, everything works as expected.

Emacs version: GNU Emacs 27.2

Does the section "Start in Command Mode When Emacs Daemon Starts" here solve your issue?

closing this. because partly it's old, and partly it's a minor issue. emacs client is complex thing, have lots issues. i recommend not to use it. instead, setup your emacs so it doesn't have state, and can open multiple independent instances running at the same time.

if any feel this is still bug, reopen or file new please.
