A case of case
Authored by: pmccann on Oct 08, '02 10:09:10AM

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

set complete=enhance

in your appropriate startup file. (~/.tcshrc, or ~/.cshrc if you don't have a ~/.tcshrc).

If you're a stylish type of user who's switch to the zsh then

zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}' #case off

in your ~/.zshrc file (for example) should do the trick.
