Not particularly, I think... To be honest, I've never found `minibuffer-complete-word' useful in _any_ circumstance (I always use the "full complete", `minibuffer-complete'; indeed that's what I personally have minibuffer SPC bound to) -- but I figured everybody else liked it. BTW, the binding I use for SPC is not actually `minibuffer-complete', but something called `minibuffer-complete-or-space', which does this: Complete the minibuffer contents as far as possible, or insert a space. Return nil if there is no valid completion, else t. If it's possible to insert a space, but there are other completions that don't include it, the space will only be inserted if an up-to-date completion help buffer has been displayed, otherwise one will be shown; thus a space can be inserted in this case by executing this command twice in a row. Otherwise, this command acts like `minibuffer-complete'. -Miles -- We live, as we dream -- alone.... _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
