That is one of the use cases for emacsclient/Emacs server.

Yes! I should have mentioned that. I mostly use emacsclient as an $EDITOR for git and similar programs in Emacs shell-mode, but you can also use it as a version of Emacs that you can run quickly in a tmux window, if that's what floats your boat!
