Edit remote files with Emacs via Eshell CD - Amazing!

Just stumbled across this reading my elfeed news and oh my, never knew you could do this with eshell & cd. [https://200ok.ch/posts/edit-remote-files-with-emacs.html](https://200ok.ch/posts/edit-remote-files-with-emacs.html)

Can do one better, with [`consult-dir`](https://github.com/karthink/consult-dir#remote-hosts) you can jump to remote hosts and even docker containers :)

Excellent! Thanks for the information

I mostly use tramp to edit stuff remotely, and very rarely need a shell. If I do I just do M-x eshell (or M-x shell) while visiting a dired or file buffer via tramp - you'll then get a remote shell in the working directory of the tramp buffer you've been visiting.

Thanks for pointing out this package. Exploring it now!

Huh, it doesn't seem to work for me. The modeline reads "Opening connection ..." for several seconds, as expected, but then I just get "bash: cd: /ssh:root@blah.com:: No such file or directory" in the eshell buffer.

That is strange; I tried it with remoting into a couple of servers without issue.

Tramp works fine for SSH for me, but somehow it manages to hang Emacs, when I enter a docker container, then the docker container disappears and I have not yet cleaned up the tramp connection. Really annoying. Need to mash `C-g`, but every time tramp tries to figure out what happened to that docker container, it hangs again. So no tramp into docker container for me. Although I have not tried with Emacs 28, only with 27. Maybe 28 has a fix.

With Hyperbole, you just type a Tramp path in any buffer, press M-RET, the Action Key and you are taken to the file or a dired buffer on the directory. You can even have Lisp and env. variables in the path. No reason to limit this to specialized. Just type and press.
