How to select not first alternative in helm-M-x

[Rodrigo Valin]

Hello, this is a very simple question, I think, but I haven't been able to figure it out or find documentation about it.

When I use M-x I get the helm window and I type "comp..." to compile my sources, for some reason, the `recompile` function is selected instead of `compile` and I don't know how to scroll to the second option, which is compile.

Because you have used recompile before and it is poping up in the first
source which is the history source.

Because I guess you are using `helm-move-to-line-cycle-in-source` and
`C-n` or `down` are cycling in the history source, you have to change source
with `C-o` or `right/left` (You can now even use the mouse!).
Please use `C-h m` to read helm help and see basic commands.
