- Hello,
-
- I'm using ange-ftp (ange-ftp.el,v 4.20 92/08/14 17:04:34) with
- GNU-Emacs 18.57.2 or 18.58.1 on DECstations (Ultrix 4.2A or 4.3 with
- DECs X11R4). It is possible to run ange-ftp (e.g. copying a remote
- file) in the background and edit another buffer etc. One has to
- press Ctrl-G before maybe, but I don't think it's neccessary.
- This is a feature that's very neat and I would like to use it, BUT...
-
- .. normally I work under X11 (at least if I'm at university and not at
- home...) and Emacs won't accept any keyboard event (any event?) while
- copying a file etc... That's not the way I like to see... Is this a
- bug in our configuration (I don't think so), a bug in ange-ftp or
- tree-dired (sorry, forgot about tree-dired, using that, too (rev.
- 5.239), or generally impossible?
-
- Any help will be appreciated, also any hint how to change ange-ftp or
- dired, if changes are neccesary. (I'm quite capable of doing
- elisp-programming.)
-
-
- Have a nice day,
-
- Lutz.
