Why not use agent-shell? It makes the whole experience great. Also claude-code-ide.el. try these

I use claude-code. I've been trying to use agent-shell with OpenCode but the abstraction that agent-shell puts on top of it is too much. I can't figure out how to change the model. The command to do it doesn't do anything; I see the correct model list and seem to be able to select it, but then it doesn't change. If I just run "opencode" in the same directory it comes up configured the way I want. The Claude integrati…

You boot Emacs once as a server. Then you connect through that server through emacsclient. It is your OS after all.

Sure, that's one approach. But it shouldn't take 45 seconds to spin up a new "emacs -nw" process, IMO. There's something pathological going on.

I'm a die-hard vimmer. I use vim-motions everywhere - they permeate my editors/IDEs, browsers, terminal, I use them system wide (e.g. to change volume or control media or my WM). One day I woke up with the realization of the fundamental truth - Emacs simply vims better. Much better than even Neovim. I just had to master Vim and grok some Lisp to arrive to that conclusion. People fighting Vim vs. Emacs are materially…

Almost all my vimming is in Emacs now. I started with Org mode - now I can't find any feature of any TODO application that Org mode doesn't do better.

Being a co-maintainer, I'm a bit biased, but I think you should try Ghostel ( https://github.com/dakra/ghostel ) if you aren't already. And if you are, you should report bugs so we can fix them :)

And Ghostel support recently landed in claude-code-ide.el!

I use emacs --daemon with emacsclient for this. I always have a running emacs instance, and connect with the client. Opening and quitting a client is near instant.

I used emacs for about 16 years, but never properly gotten into client-daemon setup. What’s your setup? Does the daemon preserve open buffers and stuff, so when you connect you have all your openned stuff? Or each emacs sessions have separate set of buffers and windows?
