# Emacs Plugin
This plugin replicates the functionality of the [emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) plugin for [oh-my-zsh](http://ohmyz.sh/).
It is essentially a wrapper around the very useful [emacs daemon](http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsAsDaemon) 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."
### Usage
To use this plugin add `emacs` to `fish_plugins` in you fish config file:
```bash
set fish_plugins emacs
```
### Requirements
Emacs 23 or later is required for this plugin.
