Won’t autocomplete fail if you do “cd d” and then try the autocomplete?

Or is that what you mean by “decent” auto-completion?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 29 points 1 year ago

No, it will probably go to "Documents", and if you hit tab again it should go to "Downloads". (Assuming you have the normal default folders)

bash's autocomplete fails (at least with default settings), but e.g. zsh can figure out what you mean

Not with a decent autocomplete. It will look for a folder starting with a small d and if it doesn't exist it looks at a folder with a large D.

The choice of the letter d was brilliant, that's for sure. Now I'm imagining a folder with a large D.

I don't get what you mean. It doesn't matter if you write a uppercase or lowercase d
