I said it in september 2023 and I don't know if it's a bug that needs a
fix but here is recipe of what 'with-editor' does well and could be
useful:
- C-x C-f /ssh:remote-server|su::
- M-x eshell
- vipw --> and here it works, opening an Emacs buffer through
emacsclient so I could edit and C-c C-c when done
Note that:
- EDITOR is set to "emacsclient" on the localhost
- Emacs/emacsclient is not installed on remote-server
It seems that 'with-editor' does that with the following shell hackery
into $EDITOR on the remote server:
sh -c 'printf "\nWITH-EDITOR: $$ OPEN $0\037$1\037 IN $(pwd)\n"; sleep
604800 & sleep=$!; trap "kill $sleep; exit 0" USR1; trap "kill $sleep;
exit 1" USR2; wait $sleep'
So maybe that is what we need in Emacs if we want this feature.
