I cannot complete file names that have spaces in them, even if I put
backslashes in front of the spaces.
For instance this used to work:
~ $ ls /com/mp3/albums/King\ Cr<TAB>
-| ~ $ ls /com/mp3/albums/King\ Crimson/
But now I get no matches even though "King Crimson" shows up in the
completions window if I type King<TAB>. (If I pick some name that doesn't
have many possible completions then one of them is inserted into the
buffer; but if there are many, there is currently no way for me to finish
the match manually so that the rest will complete.)
Also, this fails:
~ $ ls '/com/mp3/albums/King<TAB>
-> (file-error "Opening directory" "no such file or directory"
"/home/friedman/'/com/mp3/albums/")
In the old comint-dynamic-complete world, the leading quote enables
comint-dynamic-complete to insert filenames without backslashifying all the
spaces or other shell metacharacters.
