Case insensitive file systems are a really stupid idea. Especially if you’ve ever written code to handle files and then had Windows screw you over.
Isn’t this more of a linux meme than a programming meme?
That’s actually the reason I changed all my main folders to lower case. Another nice thing you can do is change your downloads folder to ‘internet’ so that tab completion doesn’t mix it up with ‘documents’.
sudo echo "set completion-ignore-case on" >> /etc/inputrcWhat are you crazy? They’re completely different! You think ASCII code 01100100 is the same as ASCII code 01000100? COME ON!
Seriously though, if Linux would implement a fuzzy search for capitalized and uncapitalized letters that would be pretty cool. Like if you do
cd downloadsit should be able to pretty easily find that you meantcd DownloadsYou know zsh has fuzzy completion. There are also plenty of fuzzy finder out there which do just that.
