If set to `on', words which have more than one possible completion cause the matches to be listed immediately instead of ringing the bell. The default value is `off'. Can I get similar behavior with mini-buffer completion? I have files index1.html, index2.html and index3.html. I want to open index2.html, so I have to: C-x C-f in TAB (--> index) TAB (now I see possible completions) 2 TAB (-->index2.html) RET What I would like instead: C-x C-f in TAB (--> index & I see possible completions) 2 TAB (-->index2.html) RET Is it possible? Thanks. Jiri Pejchal
