ido-find-file doesn't suggest ssh as autocomplete option

ido-find-file doesn't suggest ssh as autocomplete option

[Stefan Huchler]

When I press in ido-find-file mode /s + tab I get as possible
completions besides the files that start with s scp and scpx but not
ssh.

If I then manually type in /ssh: it lists the possible hosts correctly,
but I get no autocompletion choice for ssh, and therefor has to type the
string manually instead of ss + RET.

Btw the same with sudo I don't get it as completion option, in find-file
the completion to that methods is there. Same with adb.

Why do I only get some methods to autocomplete and not all? And is there
a way to configure that differently?

I don't know why you get /scp and /scpx as completion. You shouldn't as
long as Tramp is not loaded.

Compare the two scenarii:

- emacs -Q
- M-x ido-find-file
- / s TAB

You don't see any Tramp method:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Possible completions are:
sbin/ 	snap/
srv/ 	sys/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

- emacs -Q -l tramp
- M-x ido-find-file
- / s TAB

You see also respective Tramp methods:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Possible completions are:
sbin/ 	scp: 	scpx: 	sftp: 	sg: 	smb: 	snap/
srv/ 	ssh: 	sshx: 	su: 	sudo: 	sudoedit: 	sys/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hello Michael,

Ohh thanks interesting I tested it on my fresh installed notebook with
nothing in the config yet than exwm, in that case it must be something
in either the nixos package exwm or in exwm itself, likely the latter.

  loadScript = pkgs.writeText "emacs-exwm-load" ''
    (require 'exwm)
    ${optionalString cfg.enableDefaultConfig ''
      (require 'exwm-config)
      (exwm-config-default)
    ''}

That doesn't look like a problem so it's something in
exwm-config-default and I report that there as issue.
