IOW why can't I simply do ?
$ emacs -f sh-mode FOO
Because you are doing it in the wrong order. sh-mode will apply to the
current buffer. Try
$emacs FOO -f sh-mode
But ... - do you really want to do this? It means you are using a new eamcs
instance for every file.
So you mean that I need to this:
$ cat > emacs-ui-is-dumb.sh<<EOF
#! /bin/sh
file=$1; shift
emacs "$@" $file
EOF
and do:
$ export FCEDIT="emacs-ui-is-dumb.sh"
