Common text transformers for nvim - switch between camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, and more!
Transform the current word or selection between multiple case types. Need to easily replace myVar
with my_var or vice versa? This plugin is for you!
- Works on current word in Normal Mode
- Will replace the current word selectable by ciw
- Works on selection in Visual Mode
- Will replace only inside the selection
- Works on column selections in Visual Block Mode
- Will detect if the block is a single column or multiple columns
- If it's a single column, will replace the word under each cursor
- If it's a selection with length, will replace only inside the selection ranges
- Will detect if the block is a single column or multiple columns

Plug 'chenasraf/text-transform.nvim', { 'branch': 'develop' }If you decide not to use Telescope, you can ignore the dependencies. In that case, be sure to change
your config with popup_type = 'select' so that TextTransform never tries to load Telescope.
It falls back to vim.ui.select() instead, which may or may not still be Telescope behind the
scenes, or something else; depending on your setup.
To get started, install the plugin via your favorite package manager.
-
Use the following code to setup in any loaded
.luafilerequire('text-transform').setup({ -- custom settings })
-
Either make a selection using Visual mode, or just have your cursor stand on a desired word.
Then, use the mapped key (default: <Leader>~) to open the transform options in a popup.
-
Select the desired transform and you're done!
Note: The options are also available in Neovim by calling
:h TextTransform.options
The following are the default options when none are configured by the user.
To merge any new config into the default, you can override only the keys you need, and leave the rest to use the defaults.
require("text-transform").setup({
--- Prints information about internals of the plugin. Very verbose, only useful for debugging.
debug = false,
--- Keymap configurations
keymap = {
--- Keymap to open the telescope popup. Set to `false` or `nil` to disable keymapping
--- You can always customize your own keymapping manually.
telescope_popup = {
--- Opens the popup in normal mode
["n"] = "<Leader>~",
--- Opens the popup in visual/visual block modes
["v"] = "<Leader>~",
},
},
---
--- Configurations for the text-transform replacers
--- Keys indicate the replacer name, and the value is a table with the following options:
---
--- - `enabled` (boolean): Enable or disable the replacer - disabled replacers do not show up in the popup.
replacers = {
camel_case = { enabled = true },
const_case = { enabled = true },
dot_case = { enabled = true },
kebab_case = { enabled = true },
pascal_case = { enabled = true },
snake_case = { enabled = true },
title_case = { enabled = true },
},
--- Sort the replacers in the popup.
--- Possible values: 'frequency', 'name'
sort_by = "frequency",
--- The popup type to show.
--- Possible values: 'telescope', 'select'
popup_type = 'telescope'
})The following commands are available for your use in your own mappings or for reference.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
:TextTransform |
Pop up a either a Telescope window or a selection popup, depending on the popup_type config. |
:TtTelescope |
Pop up a Telescope window with all the transformers, which will directly act on the selected text or highlighted word. |
:TtSelect |
Pop up a selection popup with all the transformers, which will directly act on the selected text or highlighted word. |
:TtCamel |
Replace selection/word with camelCase. |
:TtSnake |
Replace selection/word with snake_case. |
:TtPascal |
Replace selection/word with PascalCase. |
:TtConst |
Replace selection/word with CONST_CASE. |
:TtDot |
Replace selection/word with dot.case. |
:TtKebab |
Replace selection/word with kebab-case. |
:TtTitle |
Replace selection/word with Title Case. |
You can use the setup options to customize the default keymaps used to trigger the Telescope Popup.
To disable these automated mappings, pass nil or false to the containing table (e.g.
telescope_popup) or to the keys themselves.
-- Disable entirely
require("text-transform").setup({
keymap = {
telescope_popup = nil,
},
})
-- Disable just one keymap
require("text-transform").setup({
keymap = {
telescope_popup = {
["v"] = nil,
},
},
})You can also create custom mappings to specific case conversions or to the Telescope popup yourself.
-- Trigger telescope popup
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>~~", ":TtTelescope", { silent = true, desc = "Transform Text" })
-- Trigger case converters directly
vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "<leader>Ccc", ":TtCamel", { silent = true, desc = "To camelCase" })
vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "<leader>Csn", ":TtSnake", { silent = true, desc = "To snake_case" })
vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "<leader>Cpa", ":TtPascal", { silent = true, desc = "To PascalCase" })
vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "<leader>Cco", ":TtConst", { silent = true, desc = "To CONST_CASE" })
vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "<leader>Cdo", ":TtDot", { silent = true, desc = "To dot.case" })
vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "<leader>Cke", ":TtKebab", { silent = true, desc = "To kebab-case" })
vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "<leader>Ctt", ":TtTitle", { silent = true, desc = "To Title Case" })I am developing this package on my free time, so any support, whether code, issues, or just stars is very helpful to sustaining its life.
