emacs helm: Create new file when existing match the name

raw

README.rst

When opening helm-find-files via C-x C-f, I can type to narrow the list of files to the desired one.

When I want to create a new file, and that file name matches an existing one, I am stuck:

Find Files (C-l: Go up one level)
pageBanners.gql

New file or directory
[+] banners.gql


 *helm find files* L1    [1 File(s)]   C-h m:Help TAB:Act RET/f1..f12:NthAct C-!:Tog.suspend C-h c:Conf
Find files or url: /home/cweiske/tmp/banners.gql

Solution: Press C-v to go down to the "New file or directory" part of the window. M-v to go back.
