how to ignore current selection from ivy when my typed text matches one

Question

I run into this issue from time to time when I want to create a new file but the new name matches a pattern already so my Ivy auto-complete setup will pick the matched option when I press Enter instead of just directly using the text I have entered and I am wondering if there is a solution for this that allows me to use what I have typed rather than the Ivy selected complete option.

See this example:

I have a directory with a file in it called file.txt. Now I want to make a new file that is just called file. So, C-f, then type file, but now Ivy has selected file.txt and I can't just create file this way by pressing enter.

Similarly, suppose I wanted to rename file.txt to file in Dired. I have exactly the same problem:

C-M-j (ivy-immediate-done) - exit with the current action, calling it on the current input instead of the current candidate. This is useful especially when creating new files or directories - often the input will match an existing file, which you don’t want to select.
