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, Dir1 and dir2, what does d <TAB> autocomplete to and what should it do?

[–] boomzilla 0 points 2 months ago

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.
