Provide additional default values (file name at point or at the current Dired line) via M-n for file reading minibuffers. (Bug#5010) * minibuffer.el (read-file-name-defaults): New function. (read-file-name): Reset `minibuffer-default' to nil when it duplicates initial input `insdef'. Bind `minibuffer-default-add-function' to lambda that calls `read-file-name-defaults' in `minibuffer-selected-window'. (minibuffer-insert-file-name-at-point): New command. * files.el (file-name-at-point-functions): New defcustom. (find-file-default): Remove defvar. (find-file-read-args): Don't use `find-file-default'. Move `minibuffer-with-setup-hook' that sets `minibuffer-default' to `read-file-name'. (find-file-literally): Use `read-file-name' with `confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer'. * ffap.el (ffap-guess-file-name-at-point): New autoloaded function. * dired.el (dired-read-dir-and-switches): Move `minibuffer-with-setup-hook' that sets `minibuffer-default' to `read-file-name'. (dired-file-name-at-point): New function. (dired-mode): Add hook `dired-file-name-at-point' to `file-name-at-point-functions'.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
