I was frustrated calling “mv” on files in the shell, because I come up with a better name and/or location for it, only to forget that I was visiting the original in an emacs buffer and now it gets borked if I want to keep on editing that buffer and save it later.
Buuuut since I’m running emacs in --daemon mode or with
start-server there is a way to call emacs functions from the command
line, via emacsclient -e.
So I made a lil three line shell script that uses that with
dired to move files in a way that emacs is aware of and updates it
buffers. For a repo, git clone https://idiomdrottning.org/emv
