How to run tramp without risking emacs (avoid freezing) (lemmy.ml)

I think one of my package is interacting wrongly with TRAMP and it is too often freezing. It is difficult to debug as it freezes totally and quite annoying as I cannot interrupt with C-g. Are there options to run tramp in a way it does not collapse the whole emacs? I could then try to guess which package interact with it by deactivating/activating them...

It seems to work properly if I open emacs with emacs -Q

Not an answer to what you really ask;

I have had editorconfig do this to me in doomemacs. Fixed with

(setq tramp-ignored-file-name-regexp ".editorconfig")

I don't understand what is the string ".editorconfig" doing there, but I will try, as it may be related with the error. Although I have realized the error happens on my laptop or home computers so I will have to try out after coming back from work. Thanks and I will come back to say if it is fixed...

It’s quite some time ago, but I believe it ignores files named “.editorconfig” (if you have it in your repo/folder), which ended up doing something wierd in editorconfig-mode (or what it’s called) when tramp was running.

I have no files with such a name but it may be a similar reason... I will try some of the typical config files like .~ or things like that and come back if any of those fixed it...
