I am using Emacs 26.3 and trying out ggtags-company-mode
to navigate my code base.
I move my cursor to a function I want to jump to the definition of, poll_count
, and enter M-
.
I now have this at the bottom of my session in the minibuffer:
But when I try to tab to it (I have ido-everywhere), It inserts an actual tab:
So I hit backspace to remove the TAB
and hit RET
. But now it inserts a literal RET
:
I want to /select/ this not insert a literal enter. So now I want to give up, and I type C-g
to cancel this command in the minibuffer:
It says quit, but then comes right back to:
It does this no matter how many times I hammer C-g C-g
. So now my editor is stuck here and this is my life now. I can neither escape the command to terminate it with C-g
, nor execute it with TAB
or RET
.
For what it's worth, the poll_count
function is defined just a few lines above in the same file, so I didn't expect this to be such a trap.
Update
C-]
and ESC ESC ESC
both cancel the command OK, so I am not trapped in the minibuffer forever, but I still can't seem to select the Jump to:
target correctly.

(no init file)? If not, see if you get the same problem. And please cite your Emacs version/build. – Drew May 13 '20 at 17:04
