FWIW, it can be found through index entries such as 'minibuffer >> history', 'M-n (minibuffer history)', 'DOWN (minibuffer history)', etc. > > We are not really talking about mini-buffer history, but mini-buffer input. The OP refers to and . In the minibuffer, these keys by default navigate so-called "minibuffer history", where e.g. inserts "future" history, AKA the next default value. So is actually "navigating" the list of defaults (completing-read's 7th argument), not the list of completions (completing-read's 2nd argument). If this is not the kind of input you're referring to, then could you please clarify which input you're referring to? >> For more details on minibuffer keymaps there's also >> (info "(emacs) Minibuffer Maps")[2], found e.g. via the index entry >> 'C-h r i minibuffer key TAB RET'. >> >> [1]: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Minibuffer-History.html >> [2]: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Minibuffer-Maps.html >> >> HTH, -- Basil
