New flex completion method: toggle case-sensitivity?

New flex completion method: toggle case-sensitivity?

[Sean Whitton]

Hello João,

Thank you for fido-mode, which I've been trying out.

Is it currently possible to toggle the flex completion style's case
sensitivity?  I got used to completing this way with Ido and it would be
nice to keep it.

Hello Sean,

Thank you for the feedback.  Regarding your question, I have no idea.
Fido-mode doesn't make any provisions regarding case.  It should behave
like icomplete-mode, so I _would_ expect it to respond to
completion-ignore-case and its cousins
read-buffer-completion-ignore-case and
read-file-name-completion-ignore-case.

Thanks, setting those works.

Looking at my old Ido config, I don't believe I set anything to get the
case insensitivity, so maybe fido-mode's minibuffer-setup-hook ought to
set those three variables to true, by default, too, or similar, for
consistency with what Ido users expect.
