Case-insensitive helpers around a case-sensitive filenames are the best of both worlds. I don't want hello.txt to BE the same as Hello.txt, I just want to find it without using a capital letter. Thanks to this thread I just discovered <code>bind -s 'set completion-ignore-case on'</code> for bash which is going to make my life as someone who frequently switches between WSL2 and Windows cmd more pleasant.
- betelgeuse6 2y agoHaving both hello.txt and Hello.txt is bad design in the first place no matter how you view it.
- daurentius523 2y ago"bad design" - It is not design just result of Unicode rules. Mind you: naïve.txt naïve.txt can both exist, because: ï vs ï 0xC3AF vs 0x69CC88 is not same. Linux does sane (secure) thing - does not care. If bytes are different - name is different. Windows and mac don't solve this anyway. Having only one of Α.txt, A.txt, a.txt is not, and was not, а option.
