case insensitive tab auto completion in zsh

[ghanwani]

In bash, I had created ~/.inputrc with the following line in it:

set completion-ignore-case on

This allows me to type "cd de <tab>" in my home directory and have it complete to "cd Desktop".

Doing this with zsh doesn't work. Any idea how to get it working? I've seen many different suggestions via google search but none of them has worked so far.

Finally found one that worked. Not sure if it's the best. Put this in my .zshrc.

# Allow for autocomplete to be case insensitive
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' \
'm:{[:lower:][:upper:]}={[:upper:][:lower:]}' \
'+l:|?=** r:|?=**'

# Initialize the autocompletion
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit -i
