LSL compiler should ignore case on all LSL function names
closed
Bavid Dailey
I am not the world best typist, my slightly cramped hands mean I make a lot of typos , and in particular i don't type capital letters when I should, or I type more capitals than I want to.
n LSL, case in function name is significant, so for example, llLinksetDatafindKeys has to be typed exactly. But realistically why is that so? nobody is going to create their own function llLINKSETDATAFINDKEYS , and if they did they're totally daft.
I propose that the LSL compiler (and the incoming LUA compiler) simply ignore the case of LSL functions. Imagine the savings in human and computer time.

It says a lot that the OP, who denies that this demand is to pander to his being lazy and stupid, was too lazy and stupid to post a WORKING http web link to this canny post, in his forum post demanding that people come here and upvote his nonsense.

Zalificent Corvinus Go away.

Yes indeed!
Let's implement a change that will break thousands of OTHER PEOPLES scripts because ONE person has trouble remembering where the "shift" key is, and how to use it.
IMAGINE the savings in peoples frustration at broken scripts when we respond to this request, as if with one voice by saying...
"LET'S NOT AND SAY WE DID"

Zalificent Corvinus what an absurd reply. Nothing would be broken - I suspect you didn't read the proposal very carefully. All existing scripts would work as before
But I'm sure your technical acumen is only exceeded by your grace in the feedback forums, so I propose we leave our debate there

There is literally NO benefit to an7one who isn't too lazy and stupid and over-entitled to occasionally find and press the SHIIFT key., on their keyboard.
You've admitted it's not an "accessability issue" you just hate having to press SHIFT now and again.
Lazy, stupid, and over-entitled.
