Is there way to get case insensitive filename generation as the default?

Basically, I want the globbing flag (#i) to be the implicit for all expa.. no, "generations"

No AFAIK zsh does not support it. It may be interesting addition aimed
at bash compatibility (and also be useful on case-insensitive file
systems like on Cygwin as example).

You can make completion case-insensitive so as a workaround you could
use ^Xe or like to expand pattern and insert it into command line.

OK, my mistake.

I have compiled my own version of zsh with case-insensitive globbing (on 
cygwin). I had to change just one line.

Yes, the manual describes how to completion case-insensitive.
But I can't quite see how ^Xe helps me.

care to send a patch? Combined with proper option I would be the first
to vote for inclusion.

I mean you can add all matches to command line directly. But if you
already have a patch it is much better.

I will give it a try.

case insensitive filename generation

Hi,

I have case insensitive <tab> completion with this
style:

zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-z-}={A-Z_}'

How would I do the exact same thing with filenames,
i.e. allow lower case letters to match lower or upper
case filenames?

Thanks.

That is without inserting (#i) all the time.

Does that zstyle not do what you expect for filenames?  If not, can you
describe what does happen?

Or is there some part of your question missing?  Filenames, where/when?

Oops.

Yes.  This style does what I want for completion.  I'm
after the same behaviour in filename globbing.

There's no setting that permanently turns on case-insenstive
globbing.  (I believe the Cygwin compilation of zsh does so
because the DOS/Windows file system is case-insensitive, but
zsh does not do that on other platforms.)

Yeah, OK, when I think about it, a lot of things can
go wrong with scripts if there was such an option for
all platforms...
