When using company in shell-mode, a space is added after a match is made. This makes path completions behave badly, since I simply can't continue with the next directory but have to go back. I guess this behaviour is due to that when completing a command, you want the extra space.

I assume someone has already solved this, in order to get the usual path completion behaviour, but still use company in shell-mode.

(If my description was unclear, say I want to list /some_directory/another_direcory/file.txt. I type ls /some. I can now select /some_directory/ as completion. Now I have ls /some_directory/ (node trailing space). I have to press backspace in order continue with another_directory.)

I've tried with emacs -Q and then enabled global-company-mode. The shell I get from M-x shell gives the same behaviour.

  • I was not able to reproduce this behaviour, could you try with bare emacs (emacs -Q) with only company mode loaded?

  • @IqbalAnsari: I get the same behaviour with emacs -Q.

  • This used to happen to me. I'm not sure what fixed it. Maybe try updating company?

    @nanny It will. This issue had been reported and fixed ~6 weeks ago.

As pointed out by @Dmitry, it was a bug. With version 0.8.8 from Elpa it works as expected.
