And if you don't agree, how do you make sense of the described behavior? For example, here is an explanation: a Tab not preceded by another Tab means "complete whenever possible" while two Tabs in a row always mean "show possible completions" (even if the first Tab was "captured" by a completion). This explanation is based on my reading of the implementation, but the manual says something different: > TAB: Complete the text in the minibuffer as much as possible; > if unable to complete, display a list of possible completions According to this sentence I would expect that the Tab in point 2, which is unable to complete anything, displayed a list of possible completions. One can always argue that the Tab indeed completes "", but that seems forced to me and, in any case, the same can be said of 3 and 5.
