You can, but assholes out there won’t.
hence the inclusion of the case insensitive auto completion, it's not 1982, you can use that now.
If I have two folders in my directory,
Dir1anddir2, what doesd <TAB>autocomplete to and what should it do?At least on zsh it would pop both of those as suggestions you can cycle through.
In the case of zsh it will quite happily do either and ask you which you meant just like if they were called Dir1 and Dir2. Also works if you have a dir1 and Dir2 in the same directory as well
it depends on your shell configs. In my case it sits at dir/Dir (case insensitive) waiting for me to specify 1 or 2, where as if you disable it, it's dependent on whether or not you type d or D.
In fish it would immediately expand to dir2.
If you have "Dir1" and "DIR2" and you type "cd d", your prompt will look like in the next picture. Fish automatically transforms "d" into "D", because there is no dir starting with the lowercase "d".
On a subsequent you'll get a list of dirs matching your prompt so far in which you choose an entry with the cursor key and enter it with the enter key.
