From: Cass Alexandru <g.cassian.alexandru <at> posteo.eu> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 30.1; TAB in Minibuffer when using a quail input-method should complete the longest common suffix of candidates Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2025 08:21:56 +0000
1. Steps to reproduce: Type the following in a buffer with `Fundamental` mode: ``` M-x set-input-method RET TeX RET \ab ``` 2. Expected behaviour: `TAB` completes to the only possible option (\above) and inserts `┴`. 3. Actual behaviour: `TAB` pops up the `*Quail Completions*` buffer with the following content, and I need to fully type out `\above` for `┴` to be inserted in the main buffer: ``` Possible completion and corresponding characters are: \ab: - \abo: - \abov: - \above:(1/1) 1.┴ ``` My question is: How can I get the expected behaviour instead of the observed one?
