GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable text editor—and more. At its core is an interpreter for Emacs Lisp, a dialect of the Lisp programming language with extensions to support text editing. The features of GNU Emacs include:
- Content-sensitive editing modes, including syntax coloring, for a variety of file types including plain text, source code, and HTML.
- Complete built-in documentation, including a tutorial for new users.
- Full Unicode support for nearly all human languages and their scripts.
- Highly customizable, using Emacs Lisp code or a graphical interface.
- A large number of extensions that add other functionality, including a project planner, mail and news reader, debugger interface, calendar, and more. Many of these extensions are distributed with GNU Emacs; others are available separately.

Thanks! Works in the terminal, but most practical when logged in on Jolla from outside.

Can you start it from terminal (emacs) ?
Meanwhile, Iam looking at this to do a small update. I believe the /usr/share/applications/emacs.desktop file might be wrong in this version ....
content of /usr/share/applications/emacs-desktop should be:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Emacs
Exec=fingerterm -e "/usr/bin/emacs"
Icon=/usr/share/emacs/24.3/etc/images/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/emacs.png
Type=Application
Terminal=true
