emacsclient needs no setting up. Just add (server-start)
to your startup file and open a file using emacsclient instead of emacs (I defined a shell function ec for that, and evan made it start emacs if it's not already running).
The only difference now is you close the files with C-x # instead of C-x k, but I wrote the following lisp function
(defun server-edit-or-close (buf)
"Close the buffer regardless of whether it's a server file or not."
(interactive "bKill/finish buffer: ")
(if server-buffer-clients
(progn
(switch-to-buffer buf)
(server-edit))
(kill-buffer)))
and bound it to
(global-set-key "\C-xk" 'server-edit-or-close)
and I can close a file using the standard way no matter how it was opened.
