yup. This is the script I use to install the railwaycat/homebrew emacs: https://gist.github.com/Lokeh/7987c235065df0f2441577255da17614

why the osascript? I have ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-*/Emacs.app /Applications/Emacs.app

lets me use spotlight easier

lilactown15:09:17

I usually start Emacs from spotlight, sometimes the dock. Almost never from the command line. so the osascript works a lot better for those

I also can see the ln'd Emacs.app in my Spotlight. No biggie anyway 🙂

lilactown15:09:31

yeah I think it has to do with the order it shows up in spotlight? I had issues where it kept defaulting to some random file with Emacs in the name until I used the osascript version ¯\(ツ)/¯

--with-no-title-bars rocks as well 🙂

I have the same for iTerm as macOS' colorful buttons are fairly useless in these cases

@benedek I use https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus, but it seems very similar. or am I overlooking something?
