     @shitpisscum Case insensitivity is brain damage as computers are not case insensitive and will you face issues when faced with two folders called "Documents" and "documents" on windows.
     
     You can easily get GNU bash to tab complete to capitals if someone was braindead and decided to start a folder or a filename with a capital letter, it's as simple as adding;
     bind "set completion-ignore-case on"
     to .bashrc
     or
     set completion-ignore-case on
     to /etc/inputrc to set it for all users.

     @mischievoustomato @david Another thing I like about windows is that paths are not case sensitive

     @re9177 @shitpisscum Yes, that was my point.
     
     Case insensitive search functions like strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() are useful in certain cases, but as soon as you start applying such functions to directory resolving, there's a huge chance there's strncmp() instead in several places and directory resolving is case sensitive as always.

     @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @shitpisscum@mrhands.horse NTFS is in fact case sensitive, Windows by default is case insensitive due to the infinite wisdom of backwards compatibility that they have gotten themselves into.

     @re9177 @shitpisscum Cwgwin or MSYS2 are ports of GNU to windows, although how they offer GNU bash is quite useful for actually getting things done.

     @shitpisscum@mrhands.horse @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com creating files using e.g bash on Cygwin or MSYS2 can achieve this effect on an Windows system.

     @re9177 @Suiseiseki Fuck, now I'm wondering if it's possible to do the opposite on windows aka. make it case sensitive. I'll have to look it up later.
