I assume that you have `pop-up-frames' = t or something similar - something that causes buffer *Completions* to appear in its own frame. In vanilla Emacs, `C-g' does nothing to remove this frame, as you say. Icicles does not have this problem: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/Icicles In Icicles, if *Completions* is displayed in its own frame (sole window), and that frame has no minibuffer or has only an inactive minibuffer, then the frame is deleted when you use `C-g' (or when you choose a completion candidate). > http://www.dr-qubit.org/predictive/user-guide/html/Pop_002dUp-Frame.html > mentions completion-popup-frame-dismiss and some key bindings. The > key bindings don't seems to work on my installation. Perhaps Toby Cubitt (author of Predictive) can help with that.
