Good catch! I'll see what I can do. One idea is, that a session timeout is suppressed as long as there are modified buffers visiting a respective remote file. > I found something about such timeouts in the manual here: > > https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/tramp/Predefined-connection-information.html > > The key is: > > "Most of the methods do not set this property except the sudo, doas and run0 > methods, which use predefined values." > > The trouble is, the manual does not say what the predefined value for such > connections are. The default value is 300 seconds. You're right, the manual shall mention it. > Is there a way to change that predefined value for such connections? The link you have shown above is about connection proiperties. You can change "session-timeout" liike shown in the example: (add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties (list (regexp-quote "/sudo:") "session-timeout" nil)) disables this. > If you edit a file, but do not save it, I am not sure that it is such a good > idea for Tramp to let the connection timeout, especially if a lock file has > been created.
