I'm using ivy-mode and when I try and make a directory and it has the same sort of name as an autocomplete then the directory will not be made.
eg: if I have webapp.pdf and I want to create a directory called webapp then autocomplete kicks in and thinks I want to call it webapp.pdf and then doesn't create the directory as it has the same name as a file. Is there a way around this?
You can try using C-M-j, as explained here
Q: How do I enter an input that matches one of the candidates instead of this candidate? Example: create a file bar when a file barricade exists in the current directory.
A: Press C-M-j. Alternatively, you can make the prompt line selectable with (setq ivy-use-selectable-prompt t).
Yes, there is. If you append a forward slash (/) after your directory name, ivy-mode will be forced to treat it as a directory path.
