Is this recentf-mode supposed to work for files opened with sudo? I only find files that are opened normally in the list.

I open files with sudo like C-x C-f /sudo://

Yes it should. Make sure you don't have "sudo" in the variable recentf-exclude (C-h v recentf-exclude).

  • Hmm, it seems they are read only when I reopen them from this list? Oct 6, 2022 at 10:16
  • they always open read only, when I pick them from this list. Any ideas? This is not happening with you? Oct 10, 2022 at 3:09
  • i explicitly exclude "tramp-ish" file paths from recentf
