1. emacs -Q
2. M-: (setq insert-default-directory nil)
3. M-x icomplete-mode
4. C-x C-f ~/
In this case everything works as described by the docstring: user input
is here so completions are shown. But IMO Ole's issue is not
completely solved: bunch of uninteresting dotfiles are shown.
I was thinking about some method wich will allow to tell that minibuffer
is empty even if there are some user input. From your patch I learned
about the 'minibuffer-default' variable and looks like it can be the
method I was thinking of.
If the 'read-file-name-default' function can set the
'minibuffer-default' variable to the substring of the minibuffer content
from (minibuffer-prompt-end) to the last occurence of the path
separator, then, in addition to the patched 'icomplete-exhibit', this
can give desired result: no completions will be show until some input
after path separator.
WDYT?
