Disabling the SPC binding in minibuffer

Question

Disabling the SPC binding in minibuffer

xsrvmy opened this issue 7 years ago · 7 comments

ErgoEmacs appears to add a really annoying space key binding in the minibuffer, so a literal space in a filename has to be entered via Ctrl-Q Space. Is there a toggle to disable that? (I'm new to emacs.)

I do not have that issue. With emacs and ergoemacs enabled I can insert a space with space when opening a file. If you use something like ido or helm, this is not the case.

Here is the beginning of the output of Ctrl-H K SPC in the minibuffer:

SPC runs the command minibuffer-complete-word (found in
ergoemacs--original-local-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp
function in ‘minibuffer.el’.

It would appear that ergoemacs is the cause of the issue here.

No. The original local map is a copy of the original emacs keybindings. I believe that emacs itself binds space. In theory, space should be the right binding in certain circumstances. If this is the case, you can see which keymaps bind space in minibuffer and then undefined them.

If you are indeed completing file names, please give a bit more information, like emacs version, ergoemacs version, platform, so I might be able to reproduce it.

I can see this same problem, where SPC is completing in the minibuffer.

I am running Emacs 26.1 on Debian buster. Starting emacs with emacs -Q and then running find-file, I do not get SPC completing. Evaluating the following in *scratch*

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/boo/ergoemacs-mode/")
(require 'ergoemacs-mode)

(setq ergoemacs-theme nil)
(setq ergoemacs-keyboard-layout "us")
(ergoemacs-mode 1)

where /home/boo/ergoemacs-mode has the current version in git

8a65bf2ffb4698f1848070cc84ecaf87d891d850

I get the erroneous SPC completion in the minibuffer. Otherwise, ergoemacs seems to be working.

I also see this behavior with Emacs 27 on a Mac using the latest version from melpa.
