Can not return to regular find-file to create new files

[KevinWangTHU]

Hi!

I can not create a new file when I type c-x c-f followed by c-f. The mini-buffer remains unchanged. The result is shown below.

Also, if I enable ido-mode, the mini-buffer becomes

However if I type c-x c-f followed by c-f, then it becomes the picture before.

I have been using your config files for some time, but recently it does not work anymore for me. I am not sure if it is my problem since I am really new to Emacs, but it seems that I have the same problem on my company's computer either (I'll check that with other computers tomorrow).

Thank you very much for your help!

This should still work out of the box. Recently I changed from ido to ivy for this config, and it looks like you still have ido-mode enabled. It's ivy in your first screenshot, and ido in the second. Try disabling ido-mode and restart Emacs. (With ivy, you don't need C-f when creating a new file.)

Also, the commit I just pushed (965d47a) might help this to work automatically for you.

Now I understand that the ivy-mode is now working. However, say if I want to create a new file named 10.py but it will give the following if I have some other similar files:

In such situation, how to create a new file named 10.py?

However I guess it should be something about ivy-mode and I should check the documentation.

Just hit C-M-j. See the ivy-help doc for more: https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper/blob/master/doc/ivy-help.org :-)

I also use C-j to instead C-M-j. Because it's easy to hit, and has almost same result.
