Стырил я с emacswiki такую функцию:
(defun my-insert-file-name (filename &optional args)
"Insert name of file FILENAME into buffer after point.
Prefixed with \\[universal-argument], expand the file name to
its fully canocalized path. See `expand-file-name'.
Prefixed with \\[negative-argument], use relative path to file
name from current directory, `default-directory'. See
`file-relative-name'.
The default with no prefix is to insert the file name exactly as
it appears in the minibuffer prompt."
;; Based on insert-file in Emacs -- ashawley 20080926
(interactive "*fInsert file name: \nP")
(cond ((eq '- args)
(insert (file-relative-name filename)))
((not (null args))
(insert (expand-file-name filename)))
(t
(insert filename))))
Можно ли приделать ней prompt как у ido-mode?
