Op does not know about $CDPATH and tab completion keke

[–] PennyJim@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I've seen a number of comments imply the possibility of case insensitive tab completion. Is this real and how do I do it?

I have multiple times fumbled with forgetting to capitalize something, only for the terminal to 'dunk' at me

For bash, this is enough:

# Bash TAB-completition enhancements
# Case-insensitive
bind "set completion-ignore-case on"
# Treat - and _ as equivalent in tab-compl
bind "set completion-map-case on"
# Expand options on the _first_ TAB press.
bind "set show-all-if-ambiguous on"

If you also add e.g.CDPATH=~/Documents, it will also always autocomplete from your Documents no matter which directory you're on.

Setting CDPATH=:~/Documents/Dev makes navigating to any of my projects so much easier.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention
