I have to connect to remote computers through ssh. I'm using tramp (C-x d /sshx:user@myhost|su:myhost:/mydirectory) and I can sudo as root on directories in this machine. As it is very convenient, I would like to bookmark the location.

After giving a name to the bookmark, I can see that my latest bookmark looks like 'my newbookmark /su:root@myhost:/mydirectory', therefore forgetting the first half of the location. And when I try to comeback to it (after closing emacs for example), I have a message "Host 'myhost' looks like a remote host, 'su' can only use the local host".

How would it be possible to bookmark the whole location?

Many thanks.

I don't know whether it is possible to bookmark the whole remote path as you type it. But please be aware, that the pipe notation /sshx:user@myhost|su:myhost: is called ad-hoc proxies, it is not intended to survive an Emacs session. I recommend you to add the proxy configuration in your .emacs file, as described in the Tramp manual:

(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             '("\\`mydomain\\'" "\\`root\\'" "/sshx:user@%h:"))

From now on, you could always use /su:myhost: as remote identification.
