Emacs word completion is > not (has never been) partial completion. That's the point. That's your interpretation. The current interpretation is that SPC is a variant of TAB which works similarly except that it stops completion at a word boundary and adds a - or a SPC if that can enable completion. This allows SPC to obey completion-styles. Your interpretation basically implies that SPC can't obey completion-styles. > Emacs word completion (SPC), > just like Emacs prefix completion (TAB) has always had, as part of its > behavior, the display of a [No match] message when it cannot complete > a word at a time or cannot complete a prefix. That's part of what word > and prefix completion mean. To me the above tells me you don't want partial completion. So turn it off. That's what completion-styles is for. I changed the default on purpose. Stefan
