I have recently found
[this article](http://emacsredux.com/blog/2013/04/21/edit-files-as-root/) by
Bozhidar Batsov on opening the current file as root. I barely use
[tramp](https://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/) for sudo access, but when I do,
I almost never use root as the target user. So I decided to fix it for my
needs.
{% gist gergelypolonkai/192c83aa0556d5cdaf4018f57b75a84b %}
If the user is not specified, the default is still root. Also, if the
current buffer is not visiting a file, I prompt for a filename. As Im not
an `ido` user, I didnt bother calling
`ido-read-file-name`; [`helm`](https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/wiki)
overrides `read-file-name` for me anyway.
Unlike Bozhidar, I barely use this feature, so I didnt bind this to a key.
