I often miss it, too. I don't recall why it had been deprecated. But you still can get the same thing using `minibuffer-setup-hook', e.g. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (minibuffer-with-setup-hook (lambda () (insert "b")) (completing-read "Input: " (list "a" "b"))) #+end_src Michael. Eli and Stefan, those working with `completing-read` can see the value of having the functionality of INITIAL-INPUT in completing-read. Could you contemplate not deprecating the functionality INITIAL-INPUT. Because the argument does have usefulness, which will be possible to do if deprecated.
