问题
When using ido-mode in emacs, it tends to get in my way when I'm trying to create a new file inside a directory, using: C-x C-f ( start typing a new filename, which doesn't yet exist ) RET
Ordinarily this should create a new file, but when I have ido mode, I have to type the new filename really quickly, otherwise ido-mode decides to move me into a directory that has a file with a matching name, causing me to open that file, instead of creating a new file.
Does anybody know how to force ido-mode to avoid looking in directories other than the one you're currently in?
回答1:
You can disable the merging (the "looking in other directories" in ido vulgo) with
(setq ido-auto-merge-work-directories-length -1)
but you can also undo the merge with C-z in ido.
回答2:
Doing this really helps. Basically use ido-mode up until you get to the correct directory, then hit C-f again to get out of ido-mode as you type the new filename.
C-x C-f navigate to directory C-f enter new filename RET.

Use C-j to tell ido to input what you have typed rather than the first completion. This is also mentioned on emacswiki.
