On (info "(emacs) emacsclient Options") there is a long-ish description of how to set tramp prefix that begins "For example, assume two hosts..."

It is this I'm wondering about automating. The setup of the tunnel, the generation of the server file on the remote, etc.

In terms of the use, this is (quite) nice for any remotely executed commands that invoke $EDITOR. The one I was doing recently was crontab -e.

There is with-editor on MELPA.

Hi Michael,

From what I can tell with-editor doesn't use this mechanism, which
is a bit of a shame, since the design of it is good in my opinion.

There is also bug#71971, proposing a possible improvement. But this bug is stalled.

The server-window-alist bug? While that relates to a use of emacsclient, it doesn't (as far as I can see) mention emacsclient being invoked on a remote, which is the situation that interests me.

Thanks and regards,

      - Joel
