I don't know if this is new in 10.2 or not, but the Go -> Go To Folder menu item will now autocomplete case-insensitively. That is, if I type...

Blimey !
I knew this hint allready, but I'd like to stress its usefulness : IMHO this tabbing goto (a typical shell feature) integrated in a totaly graphical file browser (the finder) is perhaps one of the nicest things to come out of the MacOS - unix marriage.
case-insensitive completions at the command prompt
There is a way to make the command line's tab completions case-insensitive as well. Just add the following line to your ~/Library/init/tcsh/environment.mine file (or your ".tcshrc" file I suppose):
set complete = enhance
I'm pretty sure that does the trick.
Actually, it *should* work in the Terminal...
Because, like it or not, OS X is case-insensitive pretty much everywhere (even on the commandline - something like 'ls -l | Grep Desktop' actually works).
Case sensitivity is nothing but a PITA. The sooner it gets relegated to the annals of history, the better.
Actually, it *should* work in the Terminal...
Well, it doesn't seem to, or at least auto complete doesn't.
For instance, "cd /vol[tab]" doesn't auto complete to "cd /Volumes". Although "cd /volumes" will take you to "Volumes", so while navigation is case insensitive, auto complete is not.
A case of case
I think you're misreading the previous respondent, who meant that **it would be a good thing** if it worked in the terminal (ie if all utilities ignored (but preserved) case). If you do want this behaviour in your shell you'll need the hint above (for tcsh): put |
