Hi! File name completion doesn't work with non-ASCII characters on OS X. Steps to repeat: In an empty directory: echo "alpha" > åäöalpha.txt echo "beta" > åäöbeta.txt Emacs -Q C-x C-f TAB # Emacs correctly echoes "åäö" TAB # Emacs incorrectly says "[No match]" C-g # To get out of the previous C-x C-f C-x C-f å TAB # Emacs incorrectly says "[No match]" The OS X file system is a bit bizarre in that it stores filenames using the decomposed UTF-8 format (for characters in specific ranges), this might have something to do with this. Emacs can open the files if the full name is manually specified. Also, dired seems to work OK as well. -- Anders Lindgren In GNU Emacs 25.0.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0, NS appkit-1038.36 Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549)) of 2015-12-11 Repository revision: 83114ccf77d2a5d59fccbdbda6edefacce1b979e Windowing system distributor 'Apple', version 10.3.1038 Configured using: 'configure --without-dbus --with-ns' Configured features: ACL LIBXML2 ZLIB TOOLKIT_SCROLL_BARS NS Important settings: value of $LC_CTYPE: UTF-8 locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix Major mode: Lisp Interaction Minor modes in effect: tooltip-mode: t global-eldoc-mode: t electric-indent-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t tool-bar-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t auto-composition-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Recent messages: For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
