       Hey #emacs folks what are some mind boggling features of emacs that don't get talked about enough?

       @nnungest also:Eshell and Tramp are generally known, but they actually stack! Right now I'm 30 miles away from home, but I can `cd` back into my main desktop and run commands from either environment. Emacs optimizes the connection, of course.

       @mitchmarq42xyz @nnungest BTW. how do you open a local file when you’re connected to a remote? I can’t seem to get back.

       @mitchmarq42xyz @nnungest Tramp also supports sudo, very usefull for instance to use together with org-mode (e.g. in links or shell code blocks)

       @nebucatnetzer back up directories with `../` till you're back to / then drill down again like normal.Extensions like ivy or vertico make this easier by showing the whole path in the minibuffer prompt - not sure what the behavior is on Vanilla...

       @mitchmarq42xyz That unfortunately doesn’t work. It shows only the root of the remote system, I can’t go to the root of the local system. I’m using ivy btw.

       @mitchmarq42xyz Same problem, it just allows me to go to the root of the remote system.
