This is just terrific; thanks! I didn't realize that Tramp had a manual. This fixes things!

Hi Tory,

I have the following in my config files:

(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
'(nil "\\`root\\'" "/ssh:%h:") ;; https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/issues/981
))

This causes tramp (which I'm using through Helm) to let me sudo into any of the many remote servers I work with (assuming they have ssh keys configured). However, now I can't do find-file /sudo::<local_path> as it tries to ssh to localhost. Is there any way I can keep the over-weighing benefit of sudo remote hosts while also being able to sudo locally?

The Tramp manual discusses exactly this case:

(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             '(nil "\\`root\\'" "/ssh:%h:"))
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             '((regexp-quote (system-name)) nil nil))

Be careful to apply both forms in this order, the second rule must be
the first on in `tramp-default-proxies-alist'. See also

Best regards, Michael.
