Completions ../ ./ CVS/ uk/ With java this is a pain as there are four or five levels of empty directories before I get to the source. As I have to move up and down these directories many times in a day, the ability to tab automatically up and down would be fabulous. Now before I set about writing code a) is there any way of getting emacs to ignore the CVS directory all together. That way I could move up five empty directories with five tabs. b) even better, have emacs realise that there are five empty directories, and auto complete all the way up. I know about completion-ignored-extensions. This includes CVS by default, and doesn't seem to do what I need. Cheers Phil
