The requirement is this: I should be able to -- with a single keystroke -- to get from any application into emacs into org mode. However make-frame-visible and raise-frame dont quite work: If emacs is iconized it gets de-iconized but if it is already one of the open windows below some other -- firefox, shell, whatever -- it *remains under that with the emacs tab blinking.* As a consequence Ive got to use the mouse (or shuffle through Alt-Tab). wmctrl does the job. But using it makes for two calls -- wmctrl and emacsclient -- and that makes for a packaging under a (inline) shell-script. > If anyone finds a way of streamlining this please post it! > > If it's the -c you don't like, you can always dump the commands in a > script.
