| Dec 11, 2017 at 23:09 | comment | added | styts | phils, thanks for the tip. indeed, i had a server running that i was not aware of (installed via homebrew). i have now changed EDITOR to emacsclient and now it behaves as i would like. I guess the GUI also runs the server within it. | |

| Dec 11, 2017 at 22:48 | comment | added | phils | "export EDITOR="emacsclient" # launches terminal emacs in current shell" is noteworthy. That would not work at all unless there was an Emacs server already running. How/where/when are you starting that server? | |
| Dec 11, 2017 at 21:57 | comment | added | user12563 | You'll probably want to try out running a daemon and then connecting to it. That should make it easy to pop up a window for editing. open is probably spawning a process and exiting, which tricks programs that run an editor that it's done already. | |
