@cindex minibuffer confirmation
@cindex confirming in the minibuffer
When you attempt to visit a new file, Emacs might prompt you for
confirmation first, in case you entered the wrong file name. Emacs
asks for confirmation only if the last key you typed in the
minibuffer, before submitting the input with @key{RET}, was @key{TAB}
(@code{minibuffer-complete}). This catches a common mistake, in which
one types @key{RET} before realizing that @key{TAB} did not complete
far enough to yield a desired file name (@pxref{Completion}). Emacs
asks for confirmation by putting the message @samp{[Confirm]} in the
minibuffer; type @key{RET} again to confirm and visit the file.
When @key{TAB} completion results in a nonexistent file name and you
type @key{RET} immediately to visit it, Emacs asks for confirmation
because it is quite possible that you expected completion to go
further and give you an existing file's name. Type @key{RET} to
confirm and visit the nonexistent file. The string @samp{[Confirm]}
appears for a short time after the file name to indicate the need to
confirm in this way.
