I upgraded to Emacs 26.2 on my Mac OSX Sierra instance via "brew".
After the upgrade, the emacs
command will not open a new "GUI window", i.e. it runs as if I passed the -nw
args or ran it from an ssh
session.
I.e. it does not seem to recognize the Mac windowing system:
This behavior has changed since yesterday.
From the docs Using Emacs with X Emacs has been tailored to work well with the X window system. If you run Emacs from under X win- dows, it will create its own X window to display in. You will probably want to start the editor as a background process so that you can continue using your original window.
How can I launch Emacs without it being in terminal (nw
) mode?
/usr/bin/emacs
?emacs
. This will give you a nicely "brewed" package from emacsformacosx.com. Install it withbrew cask install emacs
