VimTrick: Text case coercion
Quickly convert text strings between a variety of casing conventions
The Abolish plugin provides handy options to coerce strings between a variety of casing, naming, or textual conventions, each with 3 simple keystrokes. For example, an underscored string like employee_name can become EmployeeName by simply typing crm.
In the chart below, the three keystrokes indicated between the square brackets can coerce a string like SomeLongIdentifier to the result provided:
[crs] some_long_identifier[crm] SomeLongIdentifier[crc] someLongIdentifier[cru] SOME_LONG_IDENTIFIER[cr-] some-long-identifier[cr.] some.long.identifier[cr ] some long identifier[crt] Some Long Identifier
All the commands start with cr and many of them can be remembered with simple mnemonics, like crc for camelCase or cr- for dasherize case.
Here’s a short demo showing conversion between various formats using several of the commands above:
Note that some coercions are one-way, in that subsequent coercions may have no way of recognizing what may have been a single word before being dasherized or having spaces inserted.
