How to ignore case on vim commands?

Question

Is there a way to make vim ignore case on commands?

For example, I want vim to recognize :vex as :Vex.

Appreciate any pointers!

There is no simple option, and a simplistic mapping (as in @romainl's answer, even when only applied to command-line mode) suffers from problems like noticeable delay or inadvertent application in other contexts.

I would recommend to use the cmdalias.vim plugin, which handles this quite well:

:Alias vex Vex

If you wish to do this w/o the plugin: `cnoreabbrev Vex getcmdtype() == ":" && getcmdline() == 'Vex' ? 'vex' : 'Vex'` – Peter Rincker Jan 14 '15 at 15:24

You can find this simple solution out of the box:

nnoremap :vex :Vex

The issue there is scalability :(. – Tomas Romero Jan 14 '15 at 13:37
