It seems that this is because the variable
ffap-string-at-point-mode-alist doesn't contain a multibyte
character in CHARS.  Unfortunately, we don't have a handy
notation that represents all multibyte characters.

One way I can think of is to use negation as this:

Change
   (file "--:$+<>@-Z_a-z~*?" ...)
to
   (file "^\0-#%-),;=[-^`{-}\^?" ...)

Another way is to build a special syntax table (or a
category table) and use re-search-forward/backward instead
of skip-chars-forward/backward.

For what it's worth, GNU Arch uses file names with `{', `}', and `=' (and
`,' as well, but these are probably less important).

Perhaps "(thing-at-point 'filename)", in thing-at-point-file-name-chars,
has the same problem.


(I was pondering the slight duplication between ffap guessing and
thing-at-point the other day.  It might be cute if you could somehow
have ffap handlers based on a test for a thing-at-point thing, to get
a consistent notion of what might be "at point".)

!! The variable thing-at-point-file-name-chars is defined as
    "-~/[:alnum:]_.${}#%,:".
I've forgotten about [:XXX:] notation.  I've just read
src/regex.c and found that [:alnum:] also works for
multibyte characters (it matches with a multibyte character
whose syntax is "word"), and [:multibyte:] is available too.
So, the current definition of thing-at-point-file-name-chars
works in most cases.  But, considering that a non-word
multibyte character can also be used in a file name,
perhaps, defining that as
   "-~/[:alnum:][:multibyte:]_.${}#%,:"
is better.

And, I think ffap.el should also use that kind of pattern
instead of something like this: "0-9A-Za-z".

I agree.  In ffap.el, similar regexps are used not only in
ffap-string-at-point-mode-alist but also in the other
places.  So, I'd like to ask the maintainer of that file to
check throughout the file.

I don't regularly read emacs-devel mails. I will, however, check this out
when I return to the US in a couple of weeks.
