Reasonable and sane behavior of cd. Just get into the habit of always using lower case names for files and directories, that's how our forefathers did it.

Use a shell with decent auto-completion. I have not been irritated by this in years.

You've come from Windows and have brought dangerous expectations.

cd snuts

This is a feature, not a bug

This is completely unrelated to the meme at hand, but the title just reminded me that for a while, Merriam-Webster mistakenly included the word "Dord" to mean density - because an editor misread the entry for "D or d" as an abbreviation of density.

I love how many people brought up the Turkish "I" as if everyone here is on the Unicode steering committee or just got jobs for Turkish facebook.

I, an English speaker, have personally solved the problem by not having a Turkish I in the name of my Downloads directory, or any other directory that I need to cd into on my computer. I'm going to imagine the Turks solve it by painstakingly typing the correct I, or limiting their use of uppercase I's in general.

In fact, researching the actual issue for more than 1 second seemingly shows that Unicode basically created this problem themselves because the two I's are just seperate letters in Turkic languages. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotted_and_dotless_I_in_computing

If you nerds think this is bad try doing Powershell for any amount of time. It is entirely case-insensitive.

Comes in handy quite frequently.

So you type cd D tab and it brings you to Documents

I don't get it... "D" is a complete different character than "d" is.

It's like wondering why "file1" is not opened when I typed in "file2".

alias d="cd ~/Downloads"

Use Zsh or Fish and tab completion.

Doesn't fish basically fix this?

Use zsh and press tab

You know you prefer the D

I seems that I have triggered something, but keep that going, it’s quality content generation. 😬
