But when I hit 'f new-file.txt' to start editng a not yet existing file, eshell merely says 'Opening input file' and that's it. This is not due to the alias, as typing 'find-file new-file.txt' exhibits the same behaviour. I'd really like to understand what's happening, and more importantly, find out how this can be fixed.
