Subject: insert-file-name-into-minibuffer
Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2019 14:39:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bc04f1103f3dafb699ac56ac638f0b81@03dd7a6a0829ff12ab856207062826fb7> (raw)

It is quite common to insert the name of the current file into the 
argument of shell-command or compile command (both use 
read-shell-command). I wonder what it the preferred way to do it?

I currently use the following to allow M-. or C-u M-. to be used to
insert the file name or its full path:

(defun insert-file-name-into-minibuffer (full-path)
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((path (buffer-file-name (window-buffer (minibuffer-selected-window)))))
    (insert (if full-path
                path
              (file-name-nondirectory path)))))
(define-key minibuffer-local-map (kbd "M-.") 'insert-file-name-into-minibuffer)
