Some notes on using emacsclient on KDE, as I'm trying to integrate it with Qt Creator, because Qt Creator doesn't have Emacs key bindings (so far, my biggest gripe). There's an albeit painful keystroke to pass the current file off to an external editor, so I'm trying to get it to work with emacsclient. So far, here's my external editor command:
emacsclient -n +%l:%c %f
The -n tells it to not wait for the server to relinquish control of the file - I just want to edit it. +%l:%c says set the cursor at the line,column specified. The Info and Man pages for emacsclient don't specify this correctly, as they are both missing the colon.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to bring it to the front. Burying Emacs behind a bunch of windows isn't much help. I did come across a pretty cool KDE keyboard shortcut - Ctrl-Alt-A - which brings to the front the window "demanding attention", but that's not all that much help. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like a problem that has been solved for these window managers that don't allow "focus stealing".
