RE: ignoring case in file completion

[Stephan Mueller <smueller at MICROSOFT dot com>]

It's in the bash man page.  Search for READLINE, and also for bind.

I've got the exact line I suggested in my .bashrc, and it does work, but I
do remember having to fuss with things a bit, and finding that while you can
put readline values in .inputrc, it was easier to put them in .bashrc
because CR/LF issues went away, run-on sentence.

Doesn't seem to work.  Where can I find documentation on suitable options
for bind?  Haven't found anything in bash man page or info page on my Linux
box - must be looking in the wrong place.

Thanks.

Try
	bind 'set completion-ignore-case on'

The Cygwin FAQ has an entry explaining that 'shopt -s nocaseglob' will make
filename completion case-insensitive.

Setting nocaseglob seems to make filename EXPANSION case insensitive, but
does nothing for filename COMPLETION.  Does anyone else get this behavior?

Before I dive into the source, is there a way to get case insensitive
filename completion?

Thanks.
Ajit
