Hi Michael,
Had system problems, so was only able to try this out today. This turns on
the tramp-style <protocol>: abbreviations, but still doesn't let me do
completions the way ange-ftp did. I want to be able to complete based on the
path I used to access the file.
So say I opened a file on a server using the path
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/public_html/myfile.txt
Now I'm editing some local file and I want to open myfile2.txt in the remote
folder at a later stage. Under ange-ftp, at the find-file: prompt I could
type in (e.g.) "/user<TAB>" and the completion would search through the file
paths of all the buffers (taken at face value) and find
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/public_html/ as a folder, and complete it for me. This
saved a lot of hostname and pathname typing. I can't seem to do this with
tramp. Typing "/user<TAB>" gives me no completions. Maybe it's being
cleverer than I want and trying to interpret the path?
Cheers

Hi,
Hi,
If I opened a file /[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/fred.txt, then I could /f<TAB> and
get /[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ coming up as a completion. Tramp doesn't seem to
do this, and even after unloading it, the old ange-behaviour seems to
work only occasionally.
How can I get this type of completion happening?
You must enable partial completion mode before loading Tramp. See the
Tramp manual (info "(tramp)Filename completion")
Cheers

Best regards, Michael
