This patch is not thought to be included into the mainline VIM sources (yet). Patch solves my problem, may be it will be useful for somebody else as well.
I have long time missed in Unix VIM one small feature, which is available in windows GVIM - "case insensitive buffer names completion". Therefore this patch. Description: Assuming two buffers are opened in VIM path/to/TMaster.java path/to/TSlave.java On windows, :b tma<TAB> finds TMaster On Unix, only :b TMa<TAB> finds, :b tma<TAB> finds nothing. Patch enables windows behavior (case insensitive buffer names completion) on Unix as well.

Although TODO list already contains proposal for the similar 'ignorefilecase' option, in my opinion it is better to made the extra option for buffer names case sensitivity. -- Anton *** src/buffer.c.orig 2009-09-25 21:29:04.000000000 +0200 --- src/buffer.c 2009-09-25 21:29:17.000000000 +0200 *************** *** 2271,2277 **** if (name != NULL) { regmatch.regprog = prog; ! #ifdef CASE_INSENSITIVE_FILENAME regmatch.rm_ic = TRUE; /* Always ignore case */ #else regmatch.rm_ic = FALSE; /* Never ignore case */ --- 2271,2279 ---- if (name != NULL) { regmatch.regprog = prog; ! /* always ignore case for :buf buf*name command ! * completion */ ! #if (1) regmatch.rm_ic = TRUE; /* Always ignore case */ #else regmatch.rm_ic = FALSE; /* Never ignore case */ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
