Emacs Ledger mode autocompletion and letter case

[mb...@mbork.pl]

Hi all,

I've been using Ledger for more than a decade now, and all that time
I use Emacs and Ledger mode.

I used to have a very old version of Ledger mode. Recently I upgraded
it and noticed quite a few changes. Most of them I like, but there is
one which seems a change for the worse.

When I type an account name, say Assets:Cash:Wallet, I can type "a",
then press <tab> and get "Assets:". But when I press "g" and <tab>,
nothing gets autocompleted. I suspect the reason is that "Assets" has
an uppercase letter, so the autocompletion becomes case-sensitive (like
isearch etc.).

I'd love the autocompletion to be always case-insensitive. Is it
possible? If it needs a change in the code, where is it needed? I can
do it myself, but I'd need some pointers - the code of Ledger mode seems
rather complex.

TIA,

You forgot to present a minimum reproducing example. What account
names do you have that you would expect autocompleted from ‘g’
(besides Assets:Cash:Wallet, which does not match)?
