Change Case of Word Using VI
in [Shell]

From: Ant on 7 Apr 2010 19:22 Using the tilde key in VI allows me to change the case of a letter. Using the period key allows me to repeat the change for subsequent letters of a word. Is there a (more elegant) way to uppercase one word?

Use nvi and set tildeop, then do "~e" from the first letter of the word. (This kind of thing is why I consider nvi "the one true vi".) Note that there is no editor "VI" that I know of; "vi" is a lowercase name. -s -- Copyright 2010, all wrongs reversed.
