Does eMacs have a good remote editing and debugging system comparable to VSC? I’ve tried pycharm and nvim, but both were clunky and did not work as well if at all for remote debugging and editing with navigation, autocomplete, linting etc. VSC does all that with very little manual configuration required.
- elcritch 4y agoEmacs has "tramp". It can work pretty well. I'm not sure how well modern language servers work with it.
- db48x 4y agoEditors mostly talk to LSP servers via pipes (usually just stdin/stdout, since the editor starts the lsp server), so running them on the remote server via TRAMP is generally not a problem. In principle should just work automatically, though sometimes in practice it does not.
- pxc 4y ago> Does eMacs have a good remote editing and debugging system comparable to VSC? Emacs has a remote editing system sort of similar to VSCode, but much older, less slick, and a bit quirkier. But imo it's quite good. It's called TRAMP mode: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode
- hibbelig 4y agoI haven’t used the VSC remote thing. I believe it requires to install things on the remote computer, and if those are unavailable you’re out of luck. Tramp makes do with whatever is there.
