However, with the lambasted systemd, files are sometimes include an "@", as in /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service I just now noticed that my function, or rather `thing-at-point', breaks on such paths because of this setting: (defvar thing-at-point-file-name-chars "-~/[:alnum:]_.${}#%,:" "Characters allowable in filenames.") (line 241 in /usr/share/emacs/24.4/lisp/thingatpt.el.gz ) Because "@" isn't included, it is considered a file name delimiter and the path returned is incorrectly /lib/systemd/system/getty - with this: (setq thing-at-point-file-name-chars "@-~/[:alnum:]_.${}#%,:") it works as expected. But I don't know if that will break something else? -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 64 Blogomatic articles -
