Case-insensitive completion isn't completely insensitive

Case-insensitive completion isn't completely insensitive

[Kai Grossjohann]

I have customized zsh (4.2.0) completion as shown below.  I like
case-insensitive completion.

I have a directory which contains a file ENV and a subdir etc/.  I
change into that directory, type "source ./e" and then hit TAB.  Zsh
completes the directory, but not the file!

Typing "source ./en" and then hitting tab completes ./ENV as I prefer.

Is there a way to get zsh to complete ./e into ./ENV in this
situation?

tia,
Kai

                                      ^^
That empty match specification there tells zsh to try case sensitive
completion first. The definition after it specifies case-insensitive
completion. Try removing those empty quotes.

Ah!  And I think even the menu interface told me, but I didn't
understand.

Thanks for telling me now.  I have changed the file.
