My problem: I have Ido-mode enabled and I want to edit (for example) a file .emacs
in my home directory. I have no .emacs
file there, but I do have a .emacs.d
, and so ido assumes that I want to enter the directory when I do C-x C-f .emacs RET
.
I've been trying to solve this for at least weeks, and I've got a couple work-arounds but I would really rather not have to do anything crazy.
You can either press
C-j
to accept what you have typed so far, orC-f
which will drop you into regular find-file
