Case insensitive completion on files and paths

[Dominiquini]

Request

If I type:

vim ~/Documents/proj<TAB>

The auto-completer don't suggest anything, even if the path "~/Documents/Projects" exists!

My bash is configured to be case-insensitive when using auto-completion and without carapace, I was able to complete:

vim ~/Documents/proj<TAB> -> vim ~/Documents/Projects/

It appears that the first path on the arguments works fine (case-insensitive), but any subsequent path needs to be in the correct case!

I also tried with the commands ('file', 'cat', 'du', 'nvim'). Maybe all commands provided by carapace have the same behavior!

But if the command is not provided by carapace, it works fine! If I type: kate ~/Documents/proj<TAB>, it auto-completes!

Proposed solution

Auto-completion of files and paths should be case-insensitive (or respect the config "completion-ignore-case")

Anything else?

CARAPACE_MATCH is set to 1?

No. Sorry, I don't read that documentation!
I setup this environment variable and now most of the commands ('file', 'cat', 'du', 'nvim') works fine, but "vim" is still broken!

Thanks for the reply!

Hmm..there's an nvim completer, but I havent't aliased it to vim.
In my case the Fish bridge is used:

carapace --list --all --format json

  "vim": {
    "Name": "vim",
    "Description": "",
    "Bridge": "fish"
  }

You could bridge it with a spec for now (~/.config/carapace/specs/vim.yaml):

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://carapace.sh/schemas/command.json
name: vim
parsing: disabled
completion:
  positionalany: ["$carapace.bridge.CarapaceBin([nvim])"]

Ah! Well at least if it ISnvim and not vim (forgot about that).

Here 'nvim' is working fine! The problem is with 'vim'!
'vi', 'gvim' also works fine!

Thanks.
