My current use pattern of emacs results in my having several shell-mode buffers open, each running an ssh session. I am running into an issue with this, though - when I try to tab-complete file names and other things in my remote session, the shell attempts to use completions available on the local machine instead of on the remote machine.
For example, if the file ~/foobar
exists on the local machine and ~/frob
exists on the remote machine, typing in ~/f
and pressing tab results in ~/foobar
instead of completing correctly. If I use ssh outside of emacs and try the same thing, I get the correct completion of ~/frob
instead.
How can I get tab-completion to complete the way it does in normal ssh sessions ?
