Suppose I have a file opened called "analysis-evaluation.tex" and I'd like to create a new buffer called "eval". When using Ido, I would press C-j to create a new buffer rather than switching to an existing buffer; does such a functionality exist with ivy-switch-buffer too?

    You can also try setting ivy-use-selectable-prompt to t: The prompt line can be selected by calling ‘ivy-previous-line’ when the first regular candidate is selected. – awllower Jul 12 '18 at 6:03
  • Thanks for the info, this was what I needed, because Doom Emacs uses that by default. – Isti115 Apr 29 '20 at 23:10

You can use C-M-j which calls ivy-immediate-done to force the output to be exactly what you typed instead of having it complete to the the nearest match

This and more information can be found in the ivy manual ivy-manual
