ah, that was a bad example for so many reasons. slightly better example foo_bar -> fooBar() baz_car -> bazCar() some_thing -> someThing() An even better

ah, that was a bad example for so many reasons. slightly better example foo_bar -> fooBar() baz_car -> bazCar() some_thing -> someThing() An even better example is doing the reverse fooBar() -> foo_bar bazCar() -> baz_car someThing() -> some_thing You can put cursors at every line and then use subword movement to find the word boundary. > you still need some kind of regex to put the cursors at the right places, don't you? I didn't say it replaces regex. You need regex just to place the cursors. you don't have to write complex regexp edit text (as shown in this example)
