When I invoke timeclock-in, I'm unable to enter a project name containing embedded space characters (unless it's already in the auto complete list by virtue of me manually editing the timelog file beforehand). I think I tracked the problem down to the completing-read function that eventually gets invoked from timeclock-in. I put the following snippet (from timeclock.el) in the *scratch* buffer and invoked it via C-M-x (completing-read "Enter string (default foo): " '("bar" "fuz") nil nil nil nil "foo") If I type b the minibuffer will complete to bar, but I can't then type a space. My temporary work around was to do the following: (global-set-key (kbd "C-#") (lambda () (interactive) (insert-char ?\s 1))) and then press C-# instead of while in the minibuffer, and that works fine :) I suppose my question is how to unbind the key from the minibuffer-complete-word command when invoking the timeclock-in command?
