I'm currently trying Emacs and I have a question about fido-mode:

How do I enter a string which is a prefix or a different casing of a match? E.g. I want to rename FooBar.md to foobar.md. So I do M-x rename-file, press enter to select my current file FooBar.md, then in the "rename to" prompt I enter foobar.md. But this matches FooBar.md, so pressing enter results in Emacs trying to rename FooBar.md to FooBar.md.

So what do I do? I feel like there must be a key I can press to disable this. But my Goolge Fu leads nowhere. 😅

@zyzzyxdonta I use ido with fuzzy matching so I have this kind of thing happening when I name a new file/directory or rename a file or directory.

To stop ido doing its fuzzy matching thing, I hit C-f, which then lets me use whatever name I want without interference.

@ecadre doesn't work with fido, unfortunately 🤔
