Hi Michael - Thanks for trying. Is there a way for me to capture any trace, call-stack or similar when the emacs window is in the tramp-hung state? I could share that back to you, if practical. Alternatively, if you had time and could spend the few $s (it's "pay as you go"), you could try from a Mac on Amazon. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/ Finally, presuming we can't fix the underlying issue on mac, do you know approximately when the version of tramp that fixes the "Ctrl-G x3 Fails to Interrupt Hung Tramp" issue will make it to release? The December 29th version I tried coupled with emacs 27.1 seemed to fix the ctrl-g issue but otherwise was quite inclined to crash-and-exit emacs. I know the tramp version I tried is an alpha so no problem, just wondering when it may reach general release? Regards, Duncan.
