nvim-keepcase

Simple search and replace while preserving the original case

Features

This plugin provides the lua function keep_case which takes two arguments: an original word (the word to be replaced) and a new word (the word the original word is replaced with). keep_case returns the new word with the case of the original word.

You can use the keep_case function together with the subsitute command to perform a case-preserving search and replace as follows:

:%s/old-word/\=luaeval('keep_case(_A[1], _A[2])', [submatch(0), 'new-word'])/g

For convenience, the plugin provides the user command :Replace that does the above operation for you. The provided range, flags, and count arguments are all forwarded to the built-in substitute command.

Usage

:%Replace/old-word/new-word/g

or

:%R/old-word/new-word/g
