I don't think so. `read-char-by-name' is just a shim over (completing-read prompt (lambda (string pred action) (if (eq action 'metadata) '(metadata (annotation-function . mule--ucs-names-annotation) (category . unicode-name)) (complete-with-action action (ucs-names) string pred)))) and if you want a different completion table, then you should just avoid `read-char-by-name' -- it doesn't provide much value. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
