I know that in the Mac OS environment, and in Windows too, and even in current *ix environments, files are allowed to have spaces in their names. I don't want to argue about that, and I understand that it is for that reason that the minibuffer completion character in Carbon Emacs is Tab rather than Space. But I find it utterly annoying, and it makes me scream every time space doesn't do what I want it to, which is, complete the filename I've entered to the degree possible. It's bad enough to try to work in Windows and have to use those silly quotes around filenames if they have spaces in them, but I'm used to working *around* Windows. I have a lot more difficulty accepting the idea of having to work *around* emacs.
If I knew the name of the keymap to alter, I'd do it. If I knew the name of the mode in which to do a "local-set-key", I'd do that. If I could find it in Customize, I'd change it there. Maybe I'd come to regret doing it if I had to deal with a lot of files that have spaces embedded in their names, and if so I could undo the change. Currently, on the relatively few occasions when I encounter a space in a filename, I enter it with a C-q. So now that I've gone tiresome detail as to why I need to know, can someone please toss me a clue? -jmc --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Carbon Emacs" group mailing list.
