I have hit two different instances where I needed to use C-q SPC to insert a blank in the minibuffer recently. One is with `insert-char', if you try to complete a unicode name with spaces (almost all have one). The other is with `ert' when prompted for the selector. When I try to give a tag based selector like (tag :foo) I need to use C-q SPC to insert the space. If I type a normal space, I get [No match]. As a long time Emacs user I know how to work around these issues, but I was thinking: Aren't they really bugs? Is it expected in some situations that the user needs to escape SPC in the minibuffer, or do we consider these as bugs? Or is there perhaps a setting that I am missing which would make SPC self-inserting, and only TAB attempt completion? --=20 CYa, =E2=A1=8D=E2=A0=81=E2=A0=97=E2=A0=8A=E2=A0=95
