Filename abbreviations is a topic which seems to come up regularly. I thought that environment variables are good enough and therefore I didn't build any of this into Tramp. For instance, you can do (setenv "xx" "/multi:ssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:sudo:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:") And then you can type C-x C-f $xx/path/to/file RET How does it sound? I've been persuaded that this is no real solution, so within the next few decades (heh) you can expect an abbrev mechanism. But until then, maybe this is a workable kludge. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis) _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.freesoftware.fsf.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
