Nothing stops you: I have many config files and my init.el is pretty much a list of requires of those config files. OTOH, tramp.el is not a configuration file for tramp: it's the top level code.

Thank you, that explains why modifying init.el didn't do anything. And there's never a configuration file per package? Such as a configuration file for tramp for example? I think I saw mention of a tramp.el file somewhere on the internet.

Emacs looks for an init file in various places and it uses the first one that it finds. So if you have both a ~/.emacs and an ~/.emacs.d/init.el, only the first one will ever be effective. You need to delete the first one in order for Emacs to use the second one - and so on down the line. You can ask Emacs what init file it is using to make sure: C-h v user-init-file.

| May 22, 2023 at 15:25 | comment | added | John Smith Optional | Yes, my question here was specifically about what config file to edit. It seems that modifying ~/.emacs.d/init.el has no effect but modifying ~/.emacs has an effect. For the question of how to specify the path, see my question here: emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/77310/… specifying the full path is tricky since it contains a space that is misinterpreted on the remote side. | |

start emacs after saving random text in your init.el and if it is loaded from the location, fatal error will occur.

(FWIW, your regexp-quote isn't needed for the arg you give it here.)
