Is there a way I can > configure SPACE as the filename auto-complete character? C-h n C-s space: ** When Emacs prompts for file names, SPC no longer completes the file name. This is so filenames with embedded spaces could be input without the need to quote the space with a C-q. The underlying changes in the keymaps that are active in the minibuffer are described below under "New keymaps for typing file names". Interesting... I've had the following line in my ~/.emacs for quite a while for precisely this reason: ;;; disable 'SPC' completion in minibuffer (substitute-key-definition 'minibuffer-complete-word 'self-insert-command minibuffer-local-completion-map) However, I believe my substitution disables auto-completion across the board, not just file name auto-completion.
