Hmm I don't why I need a wrapper script in that case, do you have an idea ?

If I try without the wrapper I get:

$ export FCEDIT="emacs -nw --eval \"(setq-default default-major-mode
'sh-mode)\""
$ fc

<emacs is started but I get an error in the Messages window>

("emacs" "--eval" "\"(setq-default" "default-major-mode" "'sh-mode)\""
"/tmp/bash-fc-247955888988243")
