I think this is not correct, we were testing this together and we noticed that whenever there's too many suggestions to show, the user needs to confirm that it really wants to get it, for example: $ cd /proc/ Display all 363 possibilities? (y or n) The user needs to type "y" to get all the suggestions. > Same about the case sensitive option.

For case sensitivity the same applies, the user needs to confirm to see all of the suggestions if there are too many. > Are these options really meant to be in the emacs-mode section? No, that was me not paying enough attention on where to put the new settings. I appreciate the consideration, and I would like to have these options enabled by default, as new users are not aware of the existence of them and experienced users will know how to disable it, if they wish. But I also think there's still a benefit for our users if you only want to add these commented out (disabled). If you decide to not make it the default, would you mind leaving this bug open so at least I can keep track of this request and possibly point other people to it if they're interested in following it? Thanks for considering! -- Samuel Henrique <samueloph>
