I'm sure there's some setting to tweak. `C-h C-n' aka `M-x view-emacs-news' reveals: * Incompatible Editing Changes in Emacs 22.1 ... ** 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". If you want the old behavior back, add these two key bindings to your ~/.emacs init file: (define-key minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map " " 'minibuffer-complete-word) (define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-filename-map " " 'minibuffer-complete-word) -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
