Therefore if set and I have a file Foobar and a file foobar2, then when I do `ls f*' I see both Foobar and foobar2 listed. If not set the I would only see foobar2 listed. set completion-ignore-case on This is an option to control the readline library. The readline library is what reads the .inputrc file. The readline library is also where command line completion happens. This option tells readline to complete the filenames regardless of case. This is completely unrelated to globbing.
