Change Case

Change Case Obsidian Plugin

Plugin to let you change the case of the selected text.

This is a plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md). Search for "Change Case" in the community plugins.

Change Case: lower case
Change Case: UPPER CASE
Change Case: camelCase
Change Case: Capital Case
Change Case: CONSTANT_CASE
Change Case: dot.case

Change Case: Select from list

The Select from list command will show a selection modal with the other commands.

Multiple selections

These commands can be used with multiple selections. All changes are committed to the editor in a single transaction. That means that when you undo, all changes will be undone. Any change to the length of the strings will be handled correctly and will not interfere with the next selection.

Handling of non-Latin alphabets

Changes to lower and upper case are done according to locale-specific case mappings, using toLocaleLowerCase and toLocaleUpperCase.

The locale is picked up from the Obsidian settings and navigator.language is used as a fallback.

The Unicode category for each letter is used to determine if the letter is a lowercase letter that has an uppercase variant, or an uppercase letter that has a lowercase variant.

When letters are made up of multiple Unicode characters (grapheme clusters), this plugin will try to group them into single characters if possible. For example, à encoded as U+0061 U+0300 will be encoded as the Unicode character U+00E0. Apart from that, it will not attempt to keep grapheme clusters intact, so some modifiers and marks such as accents and umlauts might get stripped from the text.

Handling of Markdown formatting

There is no special handling of Markdown markup characters or other formatting such as parentheses.

If you select text with formatting and use the camelCase command, for example, the formatting will be stripped:

- ### example - **formatted** (text)
+ exampleFormattedText

The exception is the lower case and UPPER CASE commands because they simply call toLocaleLowerCase and toLocaleUpperCase so all formatting remains intact.
