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.
Even worse, many components will ignore the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR var so even if you manually change it to $HOME/downloads (lower-case) it will often break things.

. Just get into the habit of always using lower case names for files and directories, that’s how our forefathers did it.Yes, but this is the default on many distros, so for once the end user is not to blame
Even worse, many components will ignore the
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR
var so even if you manually change it to$HOME/downloads
(lower-case) it will often break things.Keep filling those bugs and stop complaining on random forums, kids
Porque no los dos?
Something something symlink Downloads to downloads
Yeah but the main issue is that I don’t want there to be a
Downloads
directory in my home.Removed by mod
This is all fun and games until you try moving a backup to a file system that’s case-insensitive
Why not just
cd $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR
in the first place?That’s not an environment variable. It’s defined in
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/user-dirs.dirs
.Though you can use the
xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD
command to get it automatically.Lower case directories?
Eww
ILikeMineInAWayICanReadThemProperly, instead of ilikemineinawayicanreadthemproperly
Do. none of you use case insensitive autocomplete? “do ” “Downloads”
