Would be great to have an action for converting the selected text to upper/lower case.
I don't mean capitalise, I mean change the case of all selected characters.

How do I build your source code to get the plugin .jar file? That way I can play around and maybe PR 😊

already exists, my bad

use case:

• As a user I want to be able to quickly change from any case to any case.

user story:

1. I highlight the word myWord I want to change the case of.
2. I press a shortcut key
3. A preview dialog window appear next to the word. The preview shows:
   1. myWord (this is the original world, used as a header)
   2. my-word (the second entry is selected and highlighted by default)
   3. MY_WORD
   4. ... (and so on)
4. Using the arrow, I highlight the 3rd entry MY_WORD and press enter.
5. the case of the original word has now changed from myWord to MY_WORD.

Given a selected XML fragments convert the elements to JSON or Ruby/Groovy hash and store the result in the clipboard. Element attributes should be converted as sub-elements. Could be these 2 menu entries:
"Copy as JSON"
"Copy as Ruby/Groovy Hash"

HelloWorld -> helloWorld, how to convert it with this plugin just in one time?

I have to press do it with 2 steps:

1. option + m + 5, to convert it to HELLO_WORLD
2. option + m + 5, to convert it to helloWorld

Do I miss anything that I can do it just in one step?

I try to sort this code with selection as shown below

   	>	$bundles[] = new DebugBundle();
   		$bundles[] = new SensioDistributionBundle();
   		$bundles[] = new WebProfilerBundle();<

(selection shown as >selected text<)

Expected:

   		$bundles[] = new WebProfilerBundle();
   		$bundles[] = new SensioDistributionBundle();
   		$bundles[] = new DebugBundle();

• Leading whitespace is ignored

Actual:

   		$bundles[] = new DebugBundle(); <------ PROBLEM
   		$bundles[] = new WebProfilerBundle();
   		$bundles[] = new SensioDistributionBundle();

• Leading whitespace is taken into account.

When working with text, have an ability to pull out only the duplicate lines (opposite of existing delete duplicates)

I tried selecting a large block of text with numbers in it and was hoping it would increment the whole lot, but alas, it did not.

Here is what I was hoping for:

This is what I have

<tr>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_1']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_2']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_3']; ?></td>
</tr>

I selected the whole table row and hit "Duplicate and Increment" and was hoping for this

<tr>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_1']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_2']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_3']; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_4']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_5']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_6']; ?></td>
</tr>

but what I got was this

<tr>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_1']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_2']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_3']; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_2']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_3']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $var['excerpt_4']; ?></td>
</tr>

Any chance of adding that to the options somehow?

Or is there a way to do this that I'm not aware of?

Lots of time developers need to same template for separate to code block for different languages, if there is saveTemplate{also removeTemplate && loadTemplate buttons ( t1Btn, t2Btn, ... --> click for load) } action on seperators dialog it become very usefull

Not sure of the cause for this, but the following exception was thrown shortly after I installed this plugin in WebStorm 11.0.4. I'm now running Java 1.8.0_92-b14, but noticed that I hadn't installed the full SDK previously so maybe that is part of why this happened. In any case, below is the stack trace that showed up. All I'd done was install and then use the plugin on a block of text to:

• Sort case-insensitive a-z
• Remove duplicate lines

Right now there is an option To camelCase (or to words) but there is no To words option. Sometimes you just want to convert to words but not from camelCase, so you need to do it in 2 steps. Would be nice to simply have a To Words menu item.

request for addition of an feature that transposes words around a comma i.e.

callFuncname(aParam, aNotherPararm)

with the caret on a 1st parameter(aParam) a new action swap words would result in transposing the 2 parameters leaving the , in between resulting in :

funcname(aNotherPararm, aParam)

origin code:

public void testMethod() {
    testMethod2(testSub);
}

Sets the cursor to "testSub" in line 5 (the word is not highlighted) (screenshot)
calling the action "To Constant Style"

expect:

public void testMethod() {
    testMethod2(TEST_SUB);
}

actual (not only incorrect transformation, but also "broken" code):

public void testMethod() {
TEST_METHOD_(TEST_SUB_;
}

I use "switch case" feature in the keys, of this plugin, to switch various cases of selected text:

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5357526/38096059-9d6b3bce-337a-11e8-9581-bee56311bc12.png

In Kotlin and in Java, there is a specific set of strings rules that we use:

1. helloWorld - variables and functions names
2. HelloWorld - Classes and enums
3. HELLO_WORLD - constant values or enum values
4. hello_world - packages and Android resources.

Other than those, there is no usage that I know of, that the plugin generates.

Please allow to customize which types to use. Maybe even allow it based on the file that is currently edited.

Thanks for the great plugin, however there are 2 basic things I'm always trying to go for in the context menu and they are:

• a basic convert to upper case: converts all the selected text to UPPER CASE, no matter what
• a basic convert to lower case: converts all the selected text to lower case, no matter what.

Examples: (input, function, output)
Hello -> UPPER -> HELLO
Hello -> lower -> hello
TesT 12_34 -> UPPER -> TEST 12_34
TesT 12_34 -> lower -> test 12_34

Cheers!

Is there any idea for multiple seperator in one time?
for example

x = ab( 123)
yz = cde (34)

----to----

x  = ab  ( 123 )
yz = cde ( 34  )

we need to align column three time with '=' then '(' then ')'
Can we do it in one time ? for example =&&(&&)

After installing, I don't see any key bindings to it. I searched in "Keymap" settings for "case" and "string", but nothing appeared.
I just want an easy way to switch between various string cases (camel case etc...).

I use Android Studio 2.3.1.

Given a string and a separator string, convert a string to an array (and vice versa).

• "Ford|Chevy|Honda|Toyota" --> ["Ford", "Chevy", "Honda", "Toyota"]
• ["Ford", "Chevy", "Honda", "Toyota"] --> "Ford|Chevy|Honda|Toyota"

The separator should be a string, not a character because with complex data sets people often use multi-character separator strings to simplify the parsing.

Noticed and error when installing the plugin in WebStorm 2016.

This could be a fault in WebStorm as I cannot download the package directly and have to do it manually. One it is installed I can see an error in the console and the String Manipulation menu is visible but greyed out.

I've got some migrations that are quite long and look like this:

        $table->addColumn('field_01', 'boolean', ['default' => false]);
        $table->addColumn('field_02', 'boolean', ['default' => false]);
        $table->addColumn('field_03', 'datetime', ['notnull' => false]);
        $table->addColumn('field_long_name', 'datetime', ['notnull' => false]);

When aligned to columns they look like this:

        $table->addColumn('field_01'       , 'boolean' , ['default' => false]);
        $table->addColumn('field_02'       , 'boolean' , ['default' => false]);
        $table->addColumn('field_03'       , 'datetime', ['notnull' => false]);
        $table->addColumn('field_long_name', 'datetime', ['notnull' => false]);

But what I actually want to achieve is this:

        $table->addColumn('field_01',        'boolean',  ['default' => false]);
        $table->addColumn('field_02',        'boolean',  ['default' => false]);
        $table->addColumn('field_03',        'datetime', ['notnull' => false]);
        $table->addColumn('field_long_name', 'datetime', ['notnull' => false]);

So they aligned, but the space sticks to the left.

I use "switch case" feature in the keys, of this plugin, to switch various cases of selected text:

It usually works, but I think that only if I use at least 2 words. Suppose you take this example of enum values, that you wish to set all caps (kotlin code) :

enum class ItemType{
    TermsOfUse , PrivacyPolicy, Acknowledgements,AppVersion
}

All of them work well, except for "Acknowledgements" which can only be replaced to "acknowledgements" and back to "Acknowledgements".

The others eventually become what they should: TERMS_OF_USE , PRIVACY_POLICY, APP_VERSION

To left, center, right

Is there any chance you could expose a way to trigger "Sort Lines by Length..." via Keymap? I use this ALL THE TIME and would love to trigger via keyboard.

Probably this is not an issue and is already covered somehow, but I could not find out how to increment sequences like:
1.1
1.2
1.3...
only at their second (last) portion.

Using Increment/Decrement... I got the following:
2.1
2.2
2.3

Is there a way to increment the minor part instead:
1.2
1.3
1.4

Thanks

#7 (comment):
I vote to have numerical sorting : that will be very useful to sort a 'find . -ls' or a 'ls -la'
A dialog would appear to choose column and separator (otherwise choose the first numerical column)

The symbol v2Counter converted to snake_case turns into v_counter.
The same holds true for SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE.
Tested on 4.0.135.445. I imagine this would be a quick fix?

Remember the last operation,so user can easily repeat that.Like vi dot command!

Sorry if this is already possible, I couldn't figure it out:

I think it would be nice to have inverted grep (grep -v), so that matching lines are removed instead of kept.

Let's have a string

\My\AppBundle\App\Twig\GoogleTagManagerDataLayer

I want to convert it to

my.app_bundle.app.twig.google_tag_manager_data_layer

That seems to be the exact case for string manipulation plugin. But it's currently not possible. If I call "to snake_case" on it, it creates

my_app_bundle_app_twig_google_tag_manager_data_layer

I would expect the plugin to work on case (i.e. only convert [a-z][A-Z] to \1_\2) and not touch unknown characters. Current behaviour IMO severely limits use cases. What is this behvaiour's use-case?

My other typical use case would be

Some\PHP\SubNamespace -> some/php/sub-namespace.twig (i.e. replace slashes + to hyphen-case)

The 'Align to columns' function removes leading whitespace from all the lines it operates on. This makes it less useful to me, since usually when I want to use this feature, it is in source code where I want to preserve existing indentation. I think this feature would be more useful if it preserved leading whitespace on lines, or at least had the option to do so.

For example, say I have this python function:

def some_function():
    var1 = 'foo'
    another_variable = 'bar'
    variable3 = 'bla'

If I select the 3 variable assignment lines and invoke 'Align to columns', what I'd like to see is:

def some_function():
    var1             = 'foo'
    another_variable = 'bar'
    variable3        = 'bla'

But instead what I get is:

def some_function():
var1             = 'foo'
another_variable = 'bar'
variable3        = 'bla'

I'm using PyCharm 2017.1.5. Thanks.

If I want to "Find In Path" in a specific module, I am tempted to press alt-M.
However, this activates the Popup String Manipulation.
I think, this popup should never appear if a dialog is already active (or: if anything else but an editor window has focus).

This would convert a quoted string from current quote (single or double) to the other including any escaping if needed.

For instance, if you have a string such as:
"she's a great car"

It would convert to:
'she's a great car'

It should automatically determine whether the string is currently surrounded with single or double quotes and pick the other.

If possible, it should expand from the current selection point (assuming no text is selected) to select the quoted string the cursor is located in.

It will be useful for Spock test method names.

Please add String Manipulation menu item in Context Menu of selected text

Hi, could you please add feature to convert a string to ASCII?

E.g.:
"Česká republika" -> "Ceska republika"
"ěščřžýáíé" -> "escrzyaie"

Example:

Before:

INSERT INTO address
(id , address1 , address2 ) VALUES
(@club_address+1 ,'56 passage de la Coupole' , '92400 La Défense 6 Courbevoie') ,
(@club_address+2 ,'9 Esplanade du Général de Gaulle', '92800 Puteaux' ) ;

after: apply this function to all lines except first:

INSERT INTO address
(id , address1 , address2 ) VALUES
(@club_address+1 , '56 passage de la Coupole' , '92400 La Défense 6 Courbevoie') ,
(@club_address+2 , '9 Esplanade du Général de Gaulle' , '92800 Puteaux' ) ;

Please fix.

Given I've got the following text selected TEST I'd like to transform it to test.

Thank you for your plugin. This is feature request.

You have many options for many advanced case manipulations and variable styles.

However you seem to be missing two of the most basic:

• String.toUpperCase()
• String.toLowerCase()

These are occasionly useful for standard text editing purposes and converting strings to match database schema requirements.

Thank you.

Have this text file:
Foo bar baz

Select bar. Invoke String Manipulation > To camelCase

Expected:
Foo bar baz
Actual result:
Foo Bar baz

Is it possible to implement a feature where if you try to do a string manipulation while in a live template's variable, or any guided edit mode, it automatically applies the manipulation to the entire field's value?

To explain my current use-case, I write tests in snake case like it_should_have_a_unique_slug... However, when actually typing them out, I prefer to use spaces: it should have a unique slug. It'd be nice to have a way to quickly convert the field to snake case, but Live Templates don't have the ability to post-process variables.

Currently, I have to do Ctrl + A to select everything in the current Live Template's input field before I'm able to apply the string manipulation to it.

For a better explanation of my specific use-case, see my JetBrains Community post.

Can you introduce a stand-alone lowercase action? It almost seems odd that there's a "Capitalize Fully" command, yet no "Lowercase Fully" action.

I understand there's already a Toggle option, but I would like the ability to bind to one action, to one Keymap.

Other than that... love the plug-in!

Option to wrap the currently selected text in quotes (or possibly other characters).

Possibly implemented as a Wrap/Quote... submenu with entries like:

• Wrap selection in "double quotes"
• Wrap selection in 'single quotes'
• Wrap selection in `backticks`

Sort lines by subselection doesn't work

$a = [
  'name'=>2,
  'v2'=>3,
  'va'=>1,
];

Here it the code. I selected 2, 3, 1 in multiple selection mode -> invoked Sort lines by subselection and this just breaks my code.
Result:

$a = [
  'name'=>2,
  'v2'=>3,
  'v2'=>3,
];

P.S. Thanks for the great plugin ;)

Pressing alt-M or alt-shift-M causes a search to open within String Manipulation instead of the usual menu. This didn't start happening until IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1. Pressing esc or backspace clears the search and then the intended menu appears.

Very useful manipulation in the languages which supports two type of string e.g 'hello' -> "hello".

Please add simple "lowercase/uppercase" feature.

Something like:

• If all characters in selection are lowercased – uppercase all
• In other case lowercase all
