Suggestions for improvement? > What about the question wrt `file-remote-p' and `ffap-remote-p'? ffap-file-remote-p seems to be incompatible with file-remote-p because it is also used to "normalize" file names and is applied to URLs even when url-handler-mode is not loaded. Maybe we should add to file-remote-p something equivalent to ffap-rfs-regexp. Stefan
