It shouldn't: it should complete the username (since the general form of the ~ thingy is "~/"). > I spotted these behaviours ("=>" means "hit C-b TAB and the minibuffer > becomes") : > ~/~/ => ~/~/ [Complete, but not unique] > ~/foo/~/ => ~/ > /foo/~/ => /foo/~/ [Complete, but not unique] Indeed, I'm not sure why ~/foo/~/ behaves differently. It's probably a side-effect of completion--sifn-requote. You can take a look at that function's leading comment to get an idea for why it might not always behave perfectly ;-) Stefan
