Emacs: disable automatic file search in ido mode
The following will completely disable the feature: (setq ido-auto-merge-work-directories-length -1) I’ve never seen any value in it, so disabling it completely might make sense for a lot of people.
ido-mode
Ido mode is too smart, can I get it to NOT complete a filename?
You can either press C-j to accept what you have typed so far, or C-f which will drop you into regular find-file
emacs create new file with ido enabled
Try: C-x C-f C-f It should kick you out of ido mode into “normal” find file mode
