Do find-file. Now I see current directory as the default suggestion. Can C-a, C-b, Backspace, etc. within it.

Do ido-find-file. Now I see current directory as part of the prompt. Cannot C-a, C-b, Backspace, etc. within it.

Ah, I see. This is actually one of my favorite features of ido-find-file. I love the fact that I can treat the current path section I'm writing as independent of the path I've already navigated to. To each their own.
