  24.  
  25. Instead of global-map, try the keymaps used for minibuffer completion:
  26.  
  27. (define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map "\C-f" 'minibuffer-complete)
  28. (define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-map "\C-f" 'minibuffer-complete)
  29.  
  30. You may also wish to program the TAB key in these two keymaps to do what you
  31. prefer.
