Hi list, I am the author of an emacs package called eev - <https://anggtwu.net/#eev> - and I've been working on a way to explain certain "things" using demos that can be run in REPLs. Right now the best example of one of these "things" is SVG, and I am putting my notes on this page:
https://anggtwu.net/2026-eepitch-svg.html Please don't worry if it doesn't make much sense... as far as I know eev has very few users - or at least users who have talked to me - and many, many, many more people who have tried it and who told me that they can't figure out what are the workflows for using it... =( =( =( Anyway, the last 5 seconds of the video of the demo about clipPath, https://anggtwu.net/2026-eepitch-svg.html#demo-clippath-1 https://anggtwu.net/eev-videos/2026-eepitch-svg-4.mp4 show how I can switch between a 3-window setting and a 4-window setting, and this is what matters now. I am trying to do something similar to that, but that would show tramp running in debug mode, and that could - at some point - help people to troubleshoot cases in which tramp tries to connect somewhere, but fails. Here is a first question. If I run this, (setq trd-fname "/scp:edrx@linode:/home/edrx/public_html/o") (setq trd-vec (with-parsed-tramp-file-name trd-fname nil v)) (setq trd-dbgb (tramp-debug-buffer-name trd-vec)) (setq tramp-verbose 6) (find-file trd-fname) that doesn't depend on anything from eev, the `find-file' at the end opens a file on the server that hosts my home page - but it only returns after several seconds, and after writing lots of messages on the debug buffer whose name is in the variable `trd-dbgb', i.e, "*debug tramp/scp edrx@linode*"... How can I write a function that works like the `find-file' at the end of that code but that runs asynchronously, in the sense that it starts the mechanisms that open trd-fname in the current window, but it returns immediately? Cheers, thanks in advance, more soon, etc, Eduardo Ochs...
