Why ido mode automatically change current folder when create new file?

Question

I want to create file credenentials.txt in folder d:/dev/GoogleDrive/_IPTV/Playlists/OttClub/

M-x C-x C-f

Press "c" result:

press "cr" result:

As you can see Emacs change folder to d:/personal

I don't need this. I only want to create file in folder d:/dev/GoogleDrive/_IPTV/Playlists/OttClub/

How I can do this?

P.S. I also try by -Q mode and enable only ido-mode I get same result: Press "cr"

As you can see Emacs automatically change folder.

Answer 1

You should either set ido-auto-merge-work-directories-length to a negative value, or increase the number of seconds in ido-auto-merge-delay-time.

Answer 2

It's also possible to pause Ido completion by typing C-f at the Ido prompt as soon as you have the correct directory, and then type the new file name:

C-x C-f navigate to directory C-f type new file name RET

You can also list the key bindings available during the Ido file prompt by typing the following (either during and Ido prompt or outside):

C-h f ido-find-file RET
