Time was, I smirked at some six figure web dev for describing the wa
y he would regularly customise vim to make hot changes on a deployme
nt server before nonchalantly describing basic tramp mode usage in e
macs. And yet, here I am wondering what exactly I am meant to do (sc
rewtape at sdf dot org works, in case you know ...).
I have been trying to escape from emacs and its bewitching key-chord
s, but my first port of call was to spin up emacs and C-x C-f C-a C-
k /ssh:
[email protected]:\\~/. Good old emacs, getting me into a
tramp minor mode dired. That works exactly like I hope, but sshing i
nto sdf is just a little slow. Next, spinning up a tramp shell M-x s
hell from the tramp dired buffer does what it's meant to, and faithf
ully finds sh to run on sdf. But autocomplete hangs for what seems t
o be the initial time to make an ssh connection. What exactly is tra
mp doing to make this shell work?
Cue where I am now. ssh in and just nvi what I want to do (from tmux
on my home computer). But that's my friend's case I smirked at, min
us vi's ersatz improvements. What, do I need to mount directories on
sdf on my home machine? Is the aesthetic of sdf more suitable for r
unning software over there?
If you know, please do tell.
