I feel a little silly asking this, but I cannot figure out how to do
it. I want to create a property called TO.
Normally I type C-c C-x p to set a property. When I type TO, the
minibuffer tries to autocomplete to many things other than TO, and I
cannot figure out how to cancel the rest and use TO. In file completion
it is something like C-f, is there something similar for this scenario?
Thanks,

I'm kind of guessing this is with ido enabled?
Does C-j do what you want? The full sequence on a heading would be
C-c C-x p to C-j value RET.

This is the kind of tedious nonsense up with which I will not put

Yes! That (C-j) is exactly what does it. and it is ido enabled. Thanks,
it was driving me crazy!

Hi John,
You can use C-c C-x P (with a capital 'p') to enter both the property name
and value in a free text prompt (no completion). In your case, you'd enter
"TO: " followed by your desired value.
