This plugin utilizes the Emacs daemon capability, allowing the user to quickly open frames, whether they are opened in a terminal via a ssh connection, or X frames opened on the same host. The plugin also provides some aliases for such operations.
- You don't have the cost of starting Emacs all the time anymore
- Opening a file is as fast as Emacs does not have anything else to do.
- You can share opened buffered across opened frames.
- Configuration changes made at runtime are applied to all frames.
**NOTE:** requires Emacs 24 and newer.
To use it, add emacs to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
```zsh
plugins=(... emacs)
```
## Aliases
The plugin uses a custom launcher (which we'll call here `$EMACS_LAUNCHER`) that is just a wrapper around [`emacsclient`](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsClient).
The emoji names and codes are sourced from Unicode Technical Report \#51, which provides information on emoji support in Unicode. It can be found at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/index.html.

The group definitions are added by this OMZ plugin. They are not based on external definitions. (As far as I can tell. -apjanke)

Note that `$emoji_skintone` is an associative array, and its keys are the *names* of "Fitzpatrick Skin Type" groups, not linear indexes into a normal array. The names are `1_2`, `3`, `4`, `5`, and `6`. (Types 1 and 2 are combined into a single color.) See the [Diversity section in Unicode TR 51](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/index.html#Diversity) for details.

One of the newer features of Unicode emoji is the ability to use the "Zero-Width Joiner" character to compose multiple emoji characters in to a single "emoji ligature" glyph. For example, this is [how Apple supports "family" emoji with various genders and skin tones](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/index.html#ZWJ_Sequences).

These are a pain to write out (and probably worse to read), and it might be convenient to have a couple functions for concisely composing them, if wider support for them appears.
