Subject: bug#12861: wrong default value when completing in woman-file-name
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2012 15:30:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d2zkfc0n.fsf@bernoul.li> (raw)
I don't use TAB to `minibuffer-complete' (I use <tab> and use C-i as a
key combination that does not have anything to do with the Tab key).
In `woman-file-name' TAB is unread, which in my case causes the
previously selected file to become the initial input for
`completing-read'. That file is the last man page I looked at, usually
that is not the command I want to look at now. This means that I often
get some bogus initial value in the minibuffer which I first have to
delete, then I complete to get the common prefix, and only then I can
actually select one of the files that correspond to the topic I want to
look up.
Could you please change this so that the key sequence actually used to
invoke `minibuffer-complete' is unread instead of TAB (or just call
`minibuffer-complete' explicitly?).
Thanks,
Jonas
