Use a shell with decent auto-completion. I have not been irritated by this in years.

Won’t autocomplete fail if you do “cd d” and then try the autocomplete?

Or is that what you mean by “decent” auto-completion?

Not with a decent autocomplete. It will look for a folder starting with a small d and if it doesn't exist it looks at a folder with a large D.

The choice of the letter d was brilliant, that's for sure. Now I'm imagining a folder with a large D.

I don't get what you mean. It doesn't matter if you write a uppercase or lowercase d
