emacsclient -eval "(insert \"something\")" is not working for me
- by manu
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 which comes with Emacs 23. I need Jabref to push citations to Emacs.
However, despite I installed the Jabref plugin to push citations through emacsclient, it's not working.
I did my testing, and read some of the Emacs Lisp Intro.
Some commands do work, for instance if I type (in the console):
emacsclient --eval "(switch-to-buffer \"*sratch*\")"
the emacs windows switches to that buffer. However if I issue an insert command:
emacsclient --eval "(insert \"do you see me?\")"
no text is inserted in the current buffer.
Does Emacs 23 changed something about insert?
