It will help in my packages as I have completion which I need to be editable by user, such as header, footer specification and inserting space require knowing how to use `C-q SPC', not a big deal, but it will help in usability. For completion I use TAB, instead of space. Space goes slow word by word, but I did not find use for it yet. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
