This. Except don't use zsh because this is default in every single shell

[–] chris@l.roofo.cc 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. Bash (at least by default on Ubuntu) doesn't have case insensitive tab completion.

[–] PupBiru@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

afaik there’s options you can turn on that enable it

search .inputrc and set completion-ignore-case On

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Still not a default. Also it's not the same thing.

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bash never does this by default

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bash has never not had tab completion out of the box for me

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

Tab completion is default, but completing an uppercase word by typing a lowercase letter is not

I can't relate to this issue at all exactly because I use zsh. Also a little bit related but the fuck

I remember having that when I used OhMyZsh, but after going back to a more bespoke config it doesn't work anymore. Also tried using zsh as a different user to ignore my own configs, that doesn't work either.

tldr, it's not default zsh behavior.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not default in zsh maybe, but it's default in the oh-my-zsh config most people use.

I ran zsh for a while without that config and manually configured everything and it also works, but takes quite a bit of web searching to find all the knobs to turn.

[–] aleq@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think most people use oh-my-zsh. It's very popular, and a lot of people use it, but I think most is a stretch.

Either way, it's just a set of plugins and configs so of course you can get it to work on any setup. Just saying that it's not inherent to zsh, and you can probably get similar behavior in most shells with a similar config.
