can I select it without more alphabet in emacs?

Question

I am in above picture. I want to select common-media-session.h, but I always select it using tab or c-n or c-p in vim.

Can I go to next candidate like vim?

It’s not the canonical way, but `C-M-/` (perhaps more than once) would work here. — Davis Herring, Jan 02 '19 at 00:39
This question seems about emacs and the evil-mode. Remove the tag "vim" and add "evil-mode". — Ralf, Jan 02 '19 at 08:21

M-v to switch to the completion list and C-n to select. You can read more here.

I am using evil. Thus I can't switch to completion window. – geeeek Jan 02 '19 at 04:28
I'm not familiar with evil, Maybe you set your own hot key to *switch-to-completions*? – Navy Cheng Jan 02 '19 at 08:07
No, I can't switch to completion in minibuffer. – geeeek Jan 04 '19 at 04:22

If you enable icomplete-mode, then you can use C-. and c-, to move to the next/previous candidate.

If you set completion-cycling to a non-nil value, then you can simply hit TAB several times until you get to the completion you want.

Personally, I'd just type com-s.h TAB instead.
