This is my example:

I have two files in a directory:

I wan to save the content of Order.coffee to a new file Cart.coffee

I use C-x C-w to save. When I typed in Cart.coffee, spacemacs matches to another file within the same folder, OrderCart.coffee.

I am unable to save it to Cart.coffee.

How can I prevent this mapping?

I can't tell from the screenshot if you're using helm or ivy? (in ivy the answer is C-M-j, dunno the answer for helm)
