The change I agreed to was only for file name reading.
The change you proposed would affect all kinds of completion.
I don't want to do that.
Uhh, sorry, that was a misunderstanding then.
If I had to design this from scratch, I probably wouldn't bind Space
to a completion function in some cases, but not in others. It's more
complicated for the user to "switch context", that is, to consider
whether they are entering a file-name, or whether they are entering
something like a symbol. The easier-to-remember usage paradigm would
be to use Tab for completion everywhere.
But since people might be used to using Space, this might be a
different story.
Could someone please tell me how this differentiation would best be
implemented?
Does a filename-minibuffer have an extra keymap?
Or should Space be bound to some function that distinguishes the
filename case from others? (a little awkward...)
