If I run C-c C-m href in auctex, it asks me which url to use. However if I want to link to a local file, it should let me choose the file but it doesn't.

How can I achieve this? Would be ok to bind this for example to C-u C-c C-m href or something like that.

In order to override current definition of href completion, add the following code to your init file:

(eval-after-load "hyperref"
  '(TeX-add-symbols
    '("href" [ (TeX-arg-key-val LaTeX-hyperref-href-options) ]
      (TeX-arg-file "URL") "Text" ignore)))

  • Thanks, but it doesn't start in the local direcotry (but in root) and it seems to have permission problems if I navigate to my home dir. – Julia Sep 10 '15 at 11:20
  • It does start form current directory for me. TeX-arg-file is based on `read-file-name', are you sure you don't have some customizations influencing its behavior? – giordano Sep 10 '15 at 11:28
  • I tried to narrow it down by commenting out piece by piece in my .emacs. It seems to interfer with (helm-mode 1) – Julia Sep 10 '15 at 12:29
  • I use helm too and I don't have this problem. – giordano Sep 10 '15 at 12:41
