case insensitive
(foldoc) | case sensitivity
case insensitive
case sensitive
fold case
smash case
Whether a text matching operation distinguishes
upper-case (capital) letters from lower case (is "case
sensitive") or not ("case insensitive").
Case in file names should be preserved (for readability) but
ignored when matching (so the user doesn't have to get it
right). MS-DOS does not preserve case in file names, Unix
preserves case and matches are case sensitive.
Any decent text editor will allow the user to specify
whether or not text searches should be case sensitive.
Case sensitivity is also relevant in programming (most
programming languages distiguish between case in the names of
identifiers), and addressing (Internet domain names are
case insensitive but RFC 822 local mailbox names are case
sensitive).
Case insensitive operations are sometimes said to "fold case",
from the idea of folding the character code table so that
upper and lower case letters coincide. The alternative "smash
case" is more likely to be used by someone who considers this
behaviour a misfeature or in cases where one case is
actually permanently converted to the other.
"MS-DOS will automatically smash case in the names of all
the files you create".

context-sensitive menu
(foldoc) | context-sensitive menu
A menu which appears in response to a
user action (typically a mouse click) and whose contents are
determined by which application window was clicked or has
the input focus.
Most GUIs use a secondary mouse button (right or middle) to
call up a context-sensitive menu as the primary mouse button
is normally used to interact with objects which are already
visible.
The context-sensitive menu often contains functions that are
also available in a menu bar but the context-sensitive menu
provides quick access to a subset of functions that are
particularly relevant to the window area clicked on.
The RISC OS WIMP uses only context-sensitive menus (always
invoked using the middle mouse button). This saves screen
space and reduces mouse movement compared to a menu bar.

language-sensitive editor

language-based editor
An editor that is aware of the syntactic, semantic and in some
cases the structural rules of a specific programming language
and provides a framework for the user to enter source code.
Programs or changes to previously stored programs are
incrementally parsed into an abstract syntax tree and
automatically checked for correctness.

level-sensitive scan design
(foldoc) | level-sensitive scan design
LSSD
(circuit design) (LSSD) A kind of scan design which uses
separate system and scan clocks to distinguish between normal
and test mode. Latches are used in pairs, each has a normal
data input, data output and clock for system operation. For
test operation, the two latches form a master/slave pair with
one scan input, one scan output and non-overlapping scan
clocks A and B which are held low during system operation but
cause the scan data to be latched when pulsed high during
scan.

In a single latch LSSD configuration, the second latch is used
only for scan operation. Allowing it to be use as a second
system latch reduces the silicon overhead.
