Ahhh theres the rub... I was unplugged. I see how it works now and the extra functionality is nice. Esp. since we still have for the old behavior. Regexp matching is another good reason to move it to group buffer. [...] > > So it is different than `A A'? > > Yes. Yes indeed. Another difference that isn't so apparent is that `A A' works the same plugged or unplugged. (long as a link is up, of course) Whereas the new ` on server' offers different functionality plugged and unplugged. More options, always a plus. One thing I noticed that may be a small bug is that under certain conditions after pressing on a server. When leaving that buffer with `q'. It can cause a major cpu drain while emacs pulls down all available cpu and does nothing (not visibly any way). I haven't been able to repoduce this reliably but it happened three times (not in sequence) while I've been experimenting with this new functionality.
