Some years ago, there was an attempt to use threads in Tramp. This failed. What you could do is to run a timer. Something like (run-with-idle-timer 0 nil #'find-file trd-fname) But likely, it won't help too much, because it still executes synchronously. Then there is the ELPA package async. I have no experience with it, but it could help. Its README mentions Tramp explicitly. > Cheers, thanks in advance, more soon, etc, > Eduardo Ochs... Best regards, Michael.
