Ok, I finally recreated my setup. There's some bug in emacs daemon
where if no X frame currently exist and you use emacsclient -e
'(some-function-that-creates-a-frame)', then the frame that is created
will immediately be deleted when the command terminates. (Note: this
is only a problem with an emacs that wasn't started originally with an
X frame, i.e. either emacs -nw or emacs --daemon) To fix this, the key
is to use emacsclient -c to create a new frame, and then use -e to
eval some code that creates the frame you actually want, and then
deletes the first frame. Here's my script:
#!/bin/sh
exec emacsclient -c -e '
(let ((sacframe (selected-frame))) ; the frame create by the -c
options is the "sacrificial frame"
(make-frame-invisible sacframe t)
(remember-other-frame)
(delete-frame sacframe t))
'
Put that in a script in your $PATH somewhere and add a keybinding
using e.g. xbindkeys. Personally, I use Windows Key + R.
