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.
If a directory has multiple words in it I usually do kebab case: i-like-mine-in-a-way-i-can-read-them-properly. Both easier to read and type than pascal case.
For more complex filenames I use a combination of kebab-case and snake_case, where the underscore separates portions of the file name and kebab-case the parts of those portions. E.g. movie-title_release-date-or-year_technical-specifications.mp4

cd. 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_DIRvar 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
Downloadsdirectory in my home.ln -s ~/Downloads ~/downloadsThis 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_DIRin 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 DOWNLOADcommand to get it automatically.Lower case directories?
Eww

Do. none of you use case insensitive autocomplete? “do ” “Downloads”
