In my home directory there are two sub-directories starting with "pu" (case-insensitive), "Public" and "public_html". Now I want to open a file inside public_html. 1. launch the "open file" dialog 2. type in "~/pu" into the path textbox, the two names appear 3. I press TAB Naturally, I would expect "public" appears in the textbox so that I can continue type in "_" and press TAB again to reach my destination. However 4. The text straightly changes into "/home/me/Public/" Therefore, I have no chance to go public_html, and have to 5. press BACKSPACE, type in "_", press TAB I hate this BACKSPACE.
There was actually already logic like this but it did not consider the possibility that the completions would differ in case. contrib #19acdbec1c66
(In reply to comment #1) > There was actually already logic like this but it did not consider the > possibility that the completions would differ in case. contrib #19acdbec1c66 Sorry I don't get what you mean. So it's because when I type 'pu', NetBeans first tries case-insensitive, so both "Public" and "public_html" match. And then it finds the common part is "Public", and then it becomes case-sensitive and thinks only "Public" matches and chooses it. Is that correct?
Exactly it.
