Subject: Usability suggestion : completion for M-:
Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:30:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e30f0f320803131030oe40a734mf5b5633eadee28e5@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

Emacs seems to have a consistent behaviour regarding TAB and
completion, i.e : Almost everywhere, TAB triggers completion when :
- indentation does not make sens
- tabulation char is unlikely to make sens

For exemple, TAB triggers completion in find-file. I think TAB should
be bound to lisp-complete-symbol in M-x eval-expression, aka M-: .

Hope everybody agree and this will be widely considered as a simple
yet positive change.

Paul
