Tip 111: Meet Vim's Keyword Autocompletion
Return to the top: <<Practical Vim>>
Autocompletion and Case Sensitivity
- Vim's search command treats uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent when the 'ignorecase' option is enabled.
- Side effect: autocompletion also becomes case insensitive.
- Solution: enabling 'infercase' option.

# If you open the file in vim, # then you can \"ayy@a the next line to execute the vim command: :h 'infercase'
