Then, `i SPC TAB' and choose `SPC file name completion'. You'll see this: | 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) Unfortunately, there is no index entry for this page that uses the word `space' - you have to know about the key name `SPC'. If you use Icicles, however, you can match any parts of a completion (in this case, an index entry). So you can find this page, for instance, by looking for both `file' and `complet' (in either order): `i file S-SPC complet' completes directly to the index entry `SPC file name completion'.
