howto obtain old meaning of SPC for filename completion

howto obtain old meaning of SPC for filename completion

[Allan Gottlieb]

I am using 22.0.50.1 and would prefer the previous meaning of SPC in
minibuffer filename completion (i.e., word completion rather than
actually inserting the space).

I read the emacs info pages on completion and could not find an answer
(but did find several useful options).

thanks,
allan

| 10.19 Why doesn't SPC complete file names anymore?
| ==================================================
|
| Starting with Emacs 22.1, `SPC' no longer completes file names in the
| minibuffer, so that file names with embedded spaces could be typed
| without the need to quote the spaces.
|
|    You can get the old behavior by binding `SPC' to
| `minibuffer-complete-word' in the minibuffer, as follows:
|
|      (define-key minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map (kbd "SPC")
|        'minibuffer-complete-word)
|
|      (define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-filename-map (kbd "SPC")
|        'minibuffer-complete-word)

Look in the NEWS file which comes with emacs 22. Obtaining the old
behavior is described in therre.
