I have used emacs since before Linux and window systems existed. Emacs is a small windows manager like it is nearly everything else. Nowadays I only use a tiny fraction of its functionality, because I do run a window manager and a web browser. Still emacs is one of the first programs I install on every system. On embedded systems where emacs is not feasible I try to get remote editing via TRAMP https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode working.
- dTal 7y agoDoes TRAMP mode offer any advantages to sshfs?
- snackematician 7y ago- 1 less step (just open the remote file directly, rather than running "sshfs" and then opening the file) - If you execute shell commands from emacs -- these will be executed on the remote machine when editing thru tramp - Tramp is not limited to ssh, but also allows emacs to access files in docker containers, as different users (e.g. root), in S3/GDrive/etc via the rclone backend, etc.
