man bash says:

case-insensitive filename matching and completion.
$ bind -v|grep case
set completion-ignore-case on
set completion-map-case on
Repeat-By:
So it should be enabled and when I type
$ touch _test
$ chmod +x -t<TAB>
it completes to
$ chmod +x _test
But neither
$ ./-t<TAB>
$ ls -t<TAB>
complete.
If I turn off progcomp with `shopt -u progcomp` (as suggested here
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/629844/bash-completion) it allows
the `ls` example to complete but not the other.
Thanks for the report. Those two options work for filename completion, but
not command completion (the bulk of which is handled outside readline).
I'll take a look at exposing that functionality outside readline, since
it's currently part of readline's filename completion, but that will take
some time and probably require a version bump.
