I invoked 'bash -vx --login -i' and watched the commands that were being executed. I did NOT see any reference to completion-ignore-case. Should I see the lines in .inputrc being executed? I did not see any .inputrc output. =46rom my bash shell I ran bind 'set completion-ignore-case on' and that worked perfectly. I then tried putting that line into .bashrc and that also worked. So, I have a workaround, but I'm not sure why .inputrc is not invoked. Anyway, I sure appreciate your help.

Is your HOME variable set correctly? > $ set completion-ignore-case on This will not do what you expect. You want bind 'set completion-ignore-case on' > $ bind -v | grep ignore-case > set completion-ignore-case off > > Why am I unable to set completion-ignore-case? What am I doing wrong? Try running 'bash -vx --login -i' to see what commands are executed when you run a login shell. Perhaps there is a startup script somewhere that executes the bind command to turn completion-ignore-case off.
