One Time Case Insensitive Vim Search

Jump to Comments

Everyone knows you can type

:set ic to ignore case in vim, however sometimes you want to do a case insensitive search on a ‘case by case’ basis, no pun intended.

to do that you’d type

/\csearchstring

That way you don’t have to go insenstive for your whole session.

  • try “:help smartcase” in vim…

    You get the base of both worlds.. IgnoreCase for everything by default, but if you put caps in your search string, vim assumes you meant case sensitive..
