I recently switched over to using emacs as a daemon on OS X. I added a launchd plist in ~/Library/LaunchAgents
with the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>gnu.emacs.daemon</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs</string>
<string>--daemon</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>ServiceDescription</key>
<string>Gnu Emacs Daemon</string>
<key>UserName</key>
<string>grant</string>
</dict>
</plist>
All works well except for one minor gripe when opening a file after a fresh emacsclient window has been opened via emacsclient -c -n
. When I hit C-x C-f, it starts at the filesystem root rather than my home directory, whereas launching Emacs.app, C-x C-f starts at my home directory. Is there a way to switch the behavior to start at my home dir rather than the filesystem root?
