feature request for :e -- understand tramp #13

Closed neeasade closed 4 years ago

neeasade commented 5 years ago

it would be nice if :e when used in a tramp shell using an absolute path used the remote completion and file -- ie :e /etc/environment should be the remote file, not the local one.

This is definitely worth looking at, thanks. I think even ls /etc/envirotab should use the remote host for completion, but it looks like it doesn't.

I think this is fixed now in 1.1.2 -- there was an extra comint variable I didn't know I had to set. Let me know if it works out for you. :)

Closing for now since I believe this is fixed!
