Iterm2 case insensitive autocomplete

Question

How can I add case insensitive autocomplete to Iterm2 terminal? I have tried:

set completion-ignore-case on

But this does not seem to be the solution.

Set ignore case on in inputrc file. The following command will create the file with the command if not exist already

echo "set completion-ignore-case On" >> ~/.inputrc

Then run

source ~/.inputrc

to load it on current instance of terminal.

I was entering in the set completion-ignore-case on as a command in the command line. I instead needed to navigate to my root directory, create a file named .inputrc and input the set completion-ignore-case on text in that file.

use ```zsh```, that's a default setting :) – sel-fish Sep 08 '16 at 06:05
