The information about keymaps is not sufficient to determine what needs to be done in order to get the old behaviour of file name completion(if it's provided for at all). What customization should a user do to get the old behaviour? ,----[ NEWS ] | ** 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". `---- ,----[ NEWS ] | *** New keymaps for typing file names | | Two new keymaps, `minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map' and | `minibuffer-local-must-match-filename-map', apply whenever | Emacs reads a file name in the minibuffer. These key maps override | the usual binding of SPC to `minibuffer-complete-word' (so that file | names with embedded spaces could be typed without the need to quote | the spaces). `---- In GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-06-02 on RELEASE Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600 configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --cflags -Ic:/gnuwin32/include' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: ENG locale-coding-system: cp1252 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Major mode: Article Minor modes in effect: show-paren-mode: t icomplete-mode: t erc-autojoin-mode: t erc-button-mode: t erc-ring-mode: t erc-pcomplete-mode: t erc-track-mode: t erc-fill-mode: t erc-netsplit-mode: t erc-irccontrols-mode: t erc-noncommands-mode: t display-time-mode: t delete-selection-mode: t encoded-kbd-mode: t tooltip-mode: t tool-bar-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t unify-8859-on-encoding-mode: t utf-translate-cjk-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t column-number-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Recent input: Recent messages: Mark saved where search started call-interactively: Buffer is read-only: # Quit Type C-x 1 to remove help window.
