So maybe someone else finds the interesting and will hack them together. And if that doesn't happen, I'll probobly implement them some day myself. First suggestion, it would be nice when doing: C-u M-x remote-compile, that the function would ask once again for the user/host questions. It is quite annoying not to be able to specify a different host (or user) sometimes. Or maybe it should act more or less like compile and ask all questions all the time, and then have a remote-recompile command instead. Second suggestion (might be considered a bug), when redefining remote-shell-program to "ssh", you will get a "user@host password: " prompt in the compilation buffer. Where it waits for a password, this should be changed so that it actually asks the user for the password in the mini-buffer. A simple work around for this (atleast in the case of ssh) is to just use public keys. Cheers!
