In developing an application that uses APC codes (like "\x1b_...\x1b/") to
communicate with an external process, I noticed that when I try this with
remote processes, TRAMP does not faithfully pass binary sequences on to the
process. I tracked it down to the use of the flags "-t -t" in the ssh call
(the backend I am using). I was able to lift that restriction with:
(setf (alist-get 'tramp-direct-async (alist-get "ssh" tramp-methods nil nil
#'equal)) '(("")))
But this feels rather hackish. Is there a recommended way to request that
TRAMP do no translation of binary data sent to a processes it starts, for all
of its various connections methods? This is a normal PTY process, not a pipe,
and I use direct async.
Thanks,
JD
