[SOLVED]ignore case in aterm
« on: January 04, 2014, 10:13:42 AM »
I have to take care of case while writing file/folder name in terminal.
In ubuntu , I  added 'set completion-ignore-case On' to  ~/.bashrc . Then on pressing tab , I used to get all suggestions regardless of letter case.
How can I do something similiar in tiny core terminal ?

It has nothing to do with aterm :(

Hi manit123
What happens if you make that:
Code: [Select]
bind 'set completion-ignore-case on'

Are you referring to use of bash or ash (/bin/sh)?

Should I add "bind 'set completion-ignore-case on'" in ~/.ashrc ?

to tinypoodle,
The thing I did in ubuntu was for bash in gnome-terminal .
I want something similiar for ash in aterm .

No, ash doesn't have such a builtin.

bash has a plethora of features which ash does not have, so you shouldn't just expect any feature of bash to be provided by ash (I wouldn't know about the specific one, but would rather be surprised if ash would provide it).
As has been mentioned before, the terminal is irrelevant here.

Be nice people ;)

manit123, you can just install bash, and then configure aterm to use it by adding "export SHELL=/bin/bash" in your .profile.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

tried following (one by one) in  ~/.profile
export SHELL=/bin/bash
export SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash
Then opened another terminal. Still 'echo $SHELL' says '/bin/sh'

You need to log out and back for .profile changes to sync.

I added 'export SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash'  in ~/.wmx/SystemTools/Terminal before 'exec aterm' .
Now 'ignore case' works.
Remember , ~/.ashrc is no longer used , instead 'alias' etc. should be set in ~/.bashrc
