Subject: bug#34622: Find file prompt should indicate sole completion by appending a blank
Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2019 05:40:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k1hrijt4.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
With emacs, one can never be sure if the expansion
Find file or URL: ~/bin/wwzz
is the sole completion or not, without needing a second TAB press to get
"[Sole completion]" shown.
With bash, there is always a space added at end,
"$ wc ~/bin/wwzz "
so we know right away.
I propose that emacs do the same:
"Find file or URL: ~/bin/wwzz "
and if they really want to enter a file with a " " at the end, well they
could use C-q (quoted-insert).
See also https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Minibuffer-Completion.html
but I am specifically talking about C-x C-f (find-file) and C-x d
(dired). Sorry we did discuss this before...
