'fileignorecase' 'fic' boolean (default on for systems where case in file
names is normally ignored)
global
- When set case is ignored when using file names and directories.
+ When set, case is ignored when using file and directory names.
+
+ This option is on by default on systems where the filesystem is
+ traditionally case-insensitive (for example MS-Windows and macOS).
+ However, Vim cannot determine at runtime whether a particular
+ filesystem is case-sensitive or case-insensitive.
+
See 'wildignorecase' for only ignoring case when doing completion.
