Hi Michael,
Sorry for being quiet for a long time.
Yes, the issue is fixed.
However, the interface of `shadow-define-literal-group` is somewhat
obscure:
- `M-x shadow-define-literal-group RET RET` will insert `nil` into
`shadow-literal-groups`, which is probably not correct?
- The first prompt `Host identification or cluster name: ` isn't very
descriptive. There is not much docs and I had to learn by trial and
error that it accepts either tramp format like `/ssh:user@host:` for
remote endpoints or a plain string like `my-linux-box` for local host
names. And it seems if it can't resolve provided host name it will
silently insert `nil` into `shadow-literal-groups`, which also doesn't
seem correct.
That said, it is easier to set `shadow-literal-groups` manually, because
you can manually test accessibility of remote files and then simply
append the resulting tramp file name into the variable.
