Doesn't fish basically fix this?

This is not a bug, it doesn't need to be fixed.

It's funny that you're getting down voted for telling the truth. Nothing to be subjective about either. 😅

There are solid technical reasons whenever someone's computer doesn't work the way they expect.

They don't matter.

The software can do what people want, or it can be wrong.

Wrong, it does matter. Just because it's not working as you want, doesn't mean it's not working as expected.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It literally does.

You can set bash or zsh to case-insensitive tab completion as well.

Seems like poor configuration either default or not

yeah Fish tab completion works, but one thing I've noticed though is that tab completion for wrong case only works if there's no option with the correct case

e.g. if I have Downloads and Downloads2 then d with tab completion will become Downloads, but if I have Downloads and downloads2 it will tab complete to downloads2 and D will complete to Downloads

 

I've been meaning to look through the Fish documentation to see if I can change that and fuzzy search for history but never got around to it
