For everyone out there that is bothered by the case-sensitivity of auto-completion in the Terminal, you have an option. Just open a terminal window and type:
set complete = enhanceAlternatively, you can put this command in your .tcshrc file (if you've created one in your home directory). This setting seems to be saved somewhere, although I'm not sure where. Therefore, once you entered it (or put it in you .tcshrc file), it should stick even if you delete that line from .tcshrc at a later time.
cd /app [and then hit tab]The autocomplete won't work, as the Applications folder is capitalized (or at least it is on the default install). Now try the following:
cd /App [and then hit tab]This should pop out to:
cd /ApplicationsAfter you've tweaked the 'complete' setting, it will ignore the case of your entry and autocomplete based on the character(s) alone, regardless of case.
set completewith no modifiers will bring back the case-sensitivity, although I haven't tested this thoroughly.
