helm-ff-move-to-first-real-candidate is not effective on helm-mode

[kkatsuyuki]

When I use helm-completion with helm-mode (ex. dired-do-copy on a dired-mode buffer with helm-mode on), an incomplete input is selected instead of first real candidate. Therefore, I have to move select to the first candidate. How do I change to select the candidate without moving cursol?

helm-mode.el

(cl-defun helm-read-file-name
      :
  (mapc (lambda (hook)
          (add-hook 'helm-after-update-hook hook))
        '(helm-ff-move-to-first-real-candidate
          helm-ff-update-when-only-one-matched
          helm-ff-auto-expand-to-home-or-root))
     :

helm-read-file-name uses helm-ff-move-to-first-real-candidate, but it seems that helm-ff-move-to-first-real-candidate is not working.

Can you help me to fix it? Thank you!

Dired commands are not allowed to move to first real candidate see bug

910, use helm-ff-goto-first-real-dired-exceptions to modify this for

your needs. Even better use helm-find-files insead of dired ;-)

Thank you! I can select first real candidate in dired-do-copy, dired-do-rename using helm-ff-goto-first-real-dired-exceptions.
