Org mode provides a way to quickly capture bookmarks, notes, and links
using emacsclient:
emacsclient "org-protocol://store-link?url=URL&title=TITLE"
* etc/emacsclient.desktop: Make Emacs the default application for
org-protocol. (Bug#65469)
Apparently the emacsclient-mail.desktop file doesn't conform to the
Desktop Entry Specification at
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#exec-variables
which says about the Exec key:
| Field codes must not be used inside a quoted argument, the result of
| field code expansion inside a quoted argument is undefined.
However, the %u field code is used inside a quoted argument of the
Exec key in both the [Desktop Entry] and [Desktop Action new-window]
sections.
* etc/emacsclient-mail.desktop (Exec): The Desktop Entry
Specification does not allow field codes like %u inside a quoted
argument. Work around it by passing %u as first parameter ($1)
to the shell wrapper.
* etc/emacsclient.desktop (Exec): Use `sh` rather than `placeholder`
as the command name of the shell wrapper. (Bug#60204)
The Freedesktop.org Desktop Entry spec says, “The values [of
Keywords]… should not be redundant with the values of Name or
GenericName”.
* etc/emacs.desktop, etc/emacsclient.desktop (Keywords): Remove
keywords that are duplicated from the GenericName field.
This is necessary to get the Gnome desktop to show “Emacs (Client)”
when the user searches for “emacsclient”.
* etc/emacsclient.desktop, emacsclient-mail.desktop (Keywords): Add
“emacsclient”.
* doc/emacs/misc.texi: (Using Emacs as a Server) Explain
emacsclient.desktop.
* etc/NEWS: (Emacs Server): Explain emacsclient.desktop.
* emacs-mail.desktop, etc/emacsclient.desktop: Automatically try to
reuse an existing frame, open a new frame, or start a new Emacs
daemon. Add actions for specific behaviours (bug#49195).
* etc/emacsclient.desktop: Undo setting of StartupWMClass=Emacsd, since
this relies on a change to etc/emacs.service which was also undone. See
bug#37847 for more explanation (bug#49259).
* Makefile.in: Add emacsclient.desktop generation.
* etc/emacsclient.desktop: Add file, use emacsd as StartupWMClass.
* etc/emacs.service: Run with name emacsd (bug#37847).
