- Try the following:
-
- Find File: $SRC<tab><space>
-
- In the minibuffer, TAB is bound to minibuffer-complete and SPACE is bound to
- minibuffer-complete-word. These are both native functions defined in the C
- source code to GNU Emacs. It appears that minibuffer-complete-word is broken
- while minibuffer-complete is not. I don't think substitute-in-file-name is
- involved here.
