Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    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?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    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.
