  • Anticipating one possible question: my username and uid are the same on both hosts. Commented Mar 27, 2020 at 14:20
  • I don't know if that's possible: emacsclient just sends stuff to emacs, so it is the remote emacs that would need to create the frame on your laptop, i.e. more plumbing would be needed. Why not run a full emacs on your laptop and use tramp to access stuff on your desktop? Commented Mar 27, 2020 at 14:35
  • Answer 1: emacsclient -nw creates the frame inside the terminal - is the server doing this? Commented Mar 27, 2020 at 14:48

    Re: Answer 1: probably not, but does that even work for you? The frame is completely unresponsive for me. Commented Mar 27, 2020 at 15:18

    Not sure if it's possible, you shouldn't be able to make a graphic frame for sure, but what about text frame? considering we can use Emacs (or any full screen apps) through ssh. By the way, we don't need emacsclient to use the Emacs server, echo '-eval emacs-version' | nc -U /path/to/emacs/socket works as well. Commented Mar 27, 2020 at 15:19
