Re: Emacs opens a file on startup - I cant figure out why??

[Shlomi Vaknin]

Thanks Eli and Oscar, your replies helped me.

So I was recompiling, getting new binaries, checking my alias (which I do
use since unfortunately I am on OSX). And nothing seemed to help...

Until I realized that I tried some new "fancy" plugin in zsh, namely
"zsh-navigation-tools", and for some reason (or, somehow!) they bound $1 to
constantly be that file name, and my alias was "Emacs $@", so it was
opening that file...

I really dont get why or how that plugin did that, or what silly thing am I
missing..  For now I am removed that plugin, and life is back to normal..

Thanks for helping me out,
Shlomi
