Configuration Examples

Example 1

(require 'string-inflection)

;; C-q C-u is similar to the keybinding used by Vz Editor.
(global-unset-key (kbd "C-q"))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-q C-u") 'my-string-inflection-cycle-auto)

(defun my-string-inflection-cycle-auto ()
  "switching by major-mode"
  (interactive)
  (cond
   ;; for emacs-lisp-mode
   ((eq major-mode 'emacs-lisp-mode)
    (string-inflection-all-cycle))
   ;; for python
   ((eq major-mode 'python-mode)
    (string-inflection-python-style-cycle))
   ;; for java
   ((eq major-mode 'java-mode)
    (string-inflection-java-style-cycle))
   ;; for elixir
   ((eq major-mode 'elixir-mode)
    (string-inflection-elixir-style-cycle))
   (t
    ;; default
    (string-inflection-ruby-style-cycle))))

Example 2

(require 'string-inflection)

;; default
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-u") 'string-inflection-all-cycle)

;; for ruby
(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-u") 'string-inflection-ruby-style-cycle)))

;; for elixir
(add-hook 'elixir-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-u") 'string-inflection-elixir-style-cycle)))

;; for java
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-u") 'string-inflection-java-style-cycle)))

;; for python
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-u") 'string-inflection-python-style-cycle)))

How to Use

For each of the following, place the cursor at emacs_lisp and type C-q C-u, the results will be as follows:

In the case of string-inflection-ruby-style-cycle

emacs_lisp => EMACS_LISP => EmacsLisp => emacs_lisp

In the case of string-inflection-elixir-style-cycle

emacs_lisp => EmacsLisp => emacs_lisp

In the case of string-inflection-python-style-cycle

emacs_lisp => EMACS_LISP => EmacsLisp => emacs_lisp

In the case of string-inflection-java-style-cycle

emacsLisp => EMACS_LISP => EmacsLisp => emacsLisp

In the case of string-inflection-all-cycle

emacs_lisp => EMACS_LISP => EmacsLisp => emacsLisp => emacs-lisp => Emacs_Lisp => emacs_lisp

It is recommended that the major mode functions are used instead of string-inflection-all-cycle.

Standalone Functions

(string-inflection-underscore-function "EmacsLisp")           ; => "emacs_lisp"
(string-inflection-pascal-case-function "emacs_lisp")         ; => "EmacsLisp"
(string-inflection-camelcase-function "emacs_lisp")           ; => "emacsLisp"
(string-inflection-upcase-function "emacs_lisp")              ; => "EMACS_LISP"
(string-inflection-kebab-case-function "emacs_lisp")          ; => "emacs-lisp"
(string-inflection-capital-underscore-function "emacs_lisp")  ; => "Emacs_Lisp"

(string-inflection-pascal-case-p "EmacsLisp")                 ; => t
(string-inflection-pascal-case-p "emacs_lisp")                ; => nil
; etc...

Region usage

You can also use this library to convert a region’s casing. That applies the operation to all symbols of the region. If a symbol is only partially covered by the region, the operation is performed only on that part.

For that, simply select a region and perform M-x string-inflection-kebab-case (or any such other function).

Other configuration options

You can configure where the cursor shall finish after the inflection operation using the string-inflection-final-position customization option.
