+1  Q: 

Vim case-insensitive filename completion

I recently noticed how to configure bash to do case-insensitive filename completion (in /etc/inputrc, add: set completion-ignore-case on), now how do I get this in vim?

+2  A: 

Looks like it's not supported yet. It appears in vim's todo list :help todo search for CASE_INSENSITIVE_FILENAME (with priority "next release"):

8 Some file systems are case-sensitive, some are not. Turn CASE_INSENSITIVE_FILENAME into an option, at least for completion.

Anyway, if you don't care to rebuild vim from source then you can try this patch: http://osdir.com/ml/vim_dev/2009-09/msg00006.html

(Haven't tried it, so I cannot guarantee that it will solve your problem. Sorry)
