    how can this not refer to emacs?

    emacs -> screen -> tmux -> tmux integrated into <terminal app>

    appears to be the path.

    I guess the fork was "emacs before X" to "emacs after X but we retrofiited some ideas from X into the terminal" -> <the rest is history>

      I advise to check Emacs history before its widespread adoption on UNIX.

      Especially Zmacs and XEmacs, and how their features eventually found a way back into Emacs proper.
