So far, mostly good. However, there is one situation that I cannot seem to resolve in icomplete in the mini-buffer. This situation is when I wish to *not* choose one of the matches given to me. For example, if I'm in a directory which has two files, "one" and "two". If I wish to create a new sub-directory (or file, I guess) called "o", I am unable to do so because icomplete insists of choosing "one". Is there a magical incantation within icomplete that will return the partial string I may have typed or one which will turn off icomplete? I found nothing with C-h b while in the mini-buffer and the icomplete section in the Emacs info manual also mentions nothing. In other completion systems, incomplete return might be C-j or C-RET or M-RET or ... depending on which system one chooses to use. I'm sure, as usual, that I am missing something obvious. :-/ Thank you, eric -- Eric S Fraga via gnus (Emacs 31.0.50 2025-01-06) on Debian 12.8
