Tip: #49 - Switching case of characters

Created: March 14, 2001 9:24 Complexity: basic Author: Anonymous Version: 5.7 Karma: 102/51 Imported from: Tip#49

To switch the case of one or more characters use the "~", "gU" or

"gu" commands.


Examples:


~ - switch case of character under cursor

(in visual-mode: switch case of highlighted text) 


3~ - switch case of next three characters


g~~ - switch case of current line


U - in visual-mode: make highlighted text uppercase


gUU - make current line uppercase


u - in visual-mode: make highlighted text lowercase


guu - make current line lowercase


gUaw - make current word uppercase


guaw - make current word lowercase
