Is there a way to ignore / cancel a specific fish shell completion while typing?

Fish shell is awesome, and its completions is one of the reasons I love it so much.

But, every once in a while, when I type I get a completion that's not useful for me. The problem is the completion replaces what I wrote, and so I don't know how to continue.

Here's an example:

$ touch HELLO
$ echo goodbye > h

When I type the last letter, h, fish shell replaces it with HELLO where the capital H is already typed, and the ELLO part is grayed out, meaning that it will be replaced by future typing. But I just wanted to create a file named h with the content goodbye - fish gives me a hard time :(

Anyone has any suggestions?

It does not replace what you typed. The effective string is still "h", so just pressing enter will create a file called "h".

(yes, this could be shown better, there is an open issue about it)
