I can get emacsclient/emacsserver to work for "Edit with Emacs" once
Emacs is running, but can't get it to start the first time. How do I
do this? Can EmacsW32 be configured to leave the keyboard alone? I
know it's confusing -- and even occasionally find myself scrolling
forward when I want to paste -- but I use Emacs on UNIX for work, too,
so my fingers mostly know the original key bindings.
(The solution to starting Emacs the first time using
emacsclient/emacsserver on UNIX leverages the ALTERNATE_EDITOR
environmental variable, a concept that does not exist on Windows, as
far as I know.)
ALTERNATE_EDITOR works on Windows. Set it to runemacs.exe to avoid the
console window popping up when emacs is started.
