emacs ido-mode select and edit completion

using开发者_运维问答 ido for find file completion, is it possible to select and edit the first completion? Eg., if I had this, I'd like to complete with apples, but not to ido-exit-minibuffer so I can add to the end of apples:

From:

Find file: /home/me/{apples | pears | armadillos | ...}

To:

Find file: /home/me/apples

Cheers,

Tim

C-e (edit input string) seems to do what you want.

Just start typing the thing you are looking for and hit <TAB> this will attempt to complete the value, if it's not unique ido will list the possible completions, if it is unique then it will complete the selection.
