Yes, the spacebar won't be working for leading spaces. However, typing
the leading spaces in the command prompt IMHO doesn't make too much
sense to me so maybe after patch2 is applied we may use the spacebar as
an equivalent of "Ins" for selecting files/dirs as usual in other
filemanagers when nothing is actually typed in the command prompt.

That is a slight advantage of the second patch so please let me know if
you like/dislike the idea so that I can do another patch for this or
simply be happy with the patch1.

Thanks,
Jindrich
