#!/bin/bash
# Launch emacsclient with the most appropriate toolkit (currently gtk (for real
# x11) or wayland)

# The environment variable EMACS_TOOLKIT can be used to specify the preferred toolkit.
# The value should be one of: gtk or wayland

# If the environment variable is not set, the script will try to detect the
# toolkit to use by checking if the XDG_SESSION_TYPE environment variable is
# set to wayland or x11.

# FIXME - remove the following once the various issues like
# https://github.com/alexmurray/emacs-snap/issues/78 and
# https://github.com/alexmurray/emacs-snap/issues/79 are resolved
