Hi all!
As OS X filesystem is't Case Sensitive but Case Preserving I would like to see bash's tab completion to work in the same way i.e:
I want to access folder /Games:
cd /g *presses tab and nothing happens*
cd /G *presses tab and see how the full folder name appear*
but "cd /games" work fine.
Anyone know if there's a setting for that (Iread through the man-page without success) or another way to fix it?
(sorry for my bad spelling)

Ah, I guess you're not on TCSH ;-)
cd ~
pico .inputrc
and paste in
set completion-ignore-case on

**[APi]TheMan looks at title of thread Bash and case sensitivity** 
I haven't tried this command, but since we're in bash wouldn't it be set -o? I was always confused by the plus/minus notation of the bash "set" command since they're opposite from IRC modes and chmod modes (in that -o turns an option on). Eh.
I could be wrong, but it's cool to know the bash equivalent to set complete=enhance.

In case anyone's interested, while we're on the topic, another handy option I have in my .inputrc file:
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
That makes bash list all the possible matches instead of just beeping if there's more than one file that matches the letters you've typed. I think it used to do that in the previous versions' tcsh too.
