set TO as a property on a heading

set TO as a property on a heading

[John Kitchin]

I feel a little silly asking this, but I cannot figure out how to do
it. I want to create a property called TO. 

Normally I type C-c C-x p to set a property. When I type TO, the
minibuffer tries to autocomplete to many things other than TO, and I
cannot figure out how to cancel the rest and use TO. In file completion
it is something like C-f, is there something similar for this scenario?

Thanks,

I'm kind of guessing this is with ido enabled?

Does C-j do what you want?  The full sequence on a heading would be

     C-c C-x p to C-j value RET.

Hi John,

You can use C-c C-x P (with a capital 'p') to enter both the property name
and value in a free text prompt (no completion).  In your case, you'd enter
"TO: " followed by your desired value.

Yes! That (C-j) is exactly what does it. and it is ido enabled. Thanks,
it was driving me crazy!
