I keep running in to this fairly severe problem with Helm, particularly in conjunction with other modes: frequently I need to just enter an empty line (org mode: resetting an item's tags; bookmark+: ending tag input; directory search: just open the directory, not files; the list goes on and on). But there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do this. Help!
Helm needs the ability to add empty entries, not just auto-filled suggestions.

Usually its C-RET to input an empty value. Give that a shot?

Beautiful; it works. Funny I couldn't find that listed anywhere. Thanks!

The info is in the mode-line. Most people don't seem to expect that
info there though.

It's true Helm puts way more information in the mode line than most
other packages. "C-c ?" usually also gets you a command-specific help
page. One could also wish for an Info manual, but that might be getting
a bit greedy :)

Speaking of info manuals, I admit I've wondered why Helm doesn't use the usual help facilities emacs offers; why the funny interface/formatting/browsing method all its own?
