Subject: find-file TAB expansion fails if not at end of line
Date: 17 Jun 2002 16:03:27 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <86ofea72nk.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)

Lets say the minibuffer looks like
Find file: ~/.em<TAB>/auto-save-list/
and I hit TAB where it says <TAB>.  Well, if emacs had any manners it
wouldn't do the massive bleeding complaining ritual.  It would kindly
expand the ".emacs" at least (yes, I have a .emacs and .emacs.d).  The
problem is that it is distracted by the following words so much so
that it forgets that it could do useful work here.

Same deal I bet for find-alternative-file, dired, etc.

Bash doesn't suffer this.
