Package: readline-common X-Debbugs-Cc: samuel...@debian.org Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
Hello Matthias, I've recently stumbled upon someone else having this issue once again, and it made me realize I have never sent a patch for it before, as I'm used to having this in my systems. I'm not aware of any compatibility issue related to enabling these two options, and I'm assuming that this is a non-controversial change. Judging by the amount of people asking for this online, even having memes about it[0], I consider this to be wanted by most if not all of our users. I can try to make a case if you disagree with it, but I assume it's just the sort of issue nobody cared enough to patch yet. Also because some users eventually switched to zsh just for this feature. The options I'm talking about are: set completion-ignore-case On set show-all-if-ambiguous On I'd also like to offer my help to move the packaging to salsa, if you're interested in it. I know you take care of lots of important packages and you might not have the time to do it (assuming it's not your intention to keep packaging off of salsa). Thanks for considering.
