Re: [Joe-editor-general] Case insensitive find

[Larry A. <lab...@mi...>]

I'm happy to see that Joe will do a case-insensitive search or search-replace
by using the i option.

Since nearly all my searches are case-insensitive it would be really nice to have
the option to set case-insensitive searches in joerc.
It seems silly to have to type the extra character _most_ of the time.
I suspect most other users also usually do case-insensitive searches.

The Qedit (Wordstar like dos editor) simply displays i as a default option like Joe
now displays r in replaces.  If search displayed i and replace displayed ri
it would be a simple matter to backspace over the i for the rare case
of needing a case-sensitive search.
