okay, wow. given enough beating of head against wall, emacs installed inside mingw can use TRAMP /sshx: method!!

i normally use putty/plink on windows

emacs has quite good integration with it for public key auth etc.

i've still not managed to set the emacs inferior shell to be the msys2 shell on portacle

I could never get to grips with any of the emacs shells, so I still always use an external xfce4-terminal
22:50:21

or I guess msys terminal on windows

it would be nice to use the inferior shell on emacs more because of the whole voice coding thing, but can't have everything i guess

also not *that* important

emacs inferior-shell isn't a priority for me; it's more about the remote editing features

no more vi/vim in ssh, I can use a real editor :P

i don't miss linux very much when developing with sbcl, msys2 and portacle

remote editing i.e. editing files on my server, for example

I could use that sshfs port, but more complexity = more issues, so I decided to put some more effort into getting TRAMP :p

i've not had good experiences with that route on windows

have you tried running emacs *from inside* a mingw shell?
23:09:41
SAL9000
run emacs from inside mingw, install ssh-agency package, invoke (ssh-agency-ensure), then use sshx method

(this combination might work outside of mingw too, but I haven't tried)
