Subject: bug#5479: 23.1.91; icomplete-mode should show file completion candidates
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:30:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pr4x3xza.fsf@thinkpad.tsdh.de> (raw)
When enabling icomplete-mode, completion candidates for buffers, emacs
variables, and functions are shown, but there are none for file
completion. To enable file completion candidates display, one can use:
(add-to-list 'icomplete-with-completion-tables
'read-file-name-internal)
This was suggested by Stefan Monnier on help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org in
<jwvhbq9mwxo.fsf-monnier+gnu.emacs.help@gnu.org>. I don't know if
that's more a workaround or the right thing to do.
Additionally, the docstring of `icomplete-with-completion-tables' seems
a bit wrong.
,----[ C-h v icomplete-with-completion-tables RET ]
| icomplete-with-completion-tables is a variable defined in `icomplete.el'.
| Its value is
| (read-file-name-internal internal-complete-buffer)
|
| Documentation:
| Specialized completion tables with which icomplete should operate.
|
| Icomplete does not operate with any specialized completion tables
| except those on this list.
`----
The behavior that icomplete shows function and variable candidates by
default, and both don't have an entry here, seem to contradict the last
sentence.
