Undo

This is a very nice plugin. Very useful indeed.

However, when I undo, it completely removes the text. If you can avoid this, its great. And adding it to editor context menu would be very helpful.

Editors Context menu

It would be nice if the editing options were added to the editors context menu i.e. when you select the text and right-click in the editor.

The plugin "Java Text Copy paste Module" does this nicely

Programming

Hi there Richy, I think your plug-ins pretty kiff! I'm doing a honours project and part of it involves what you've already done. I was hoping I could chat to you about you plug-in? You can contact me on PoovenM@gmail.com and I'll explain my project in detail... that's if you have time. Thanks :D

should work

Good idea, thanks Kurt. Certainly more efficient than the other suggestions/ideas I've come across! Also, easily implemented, I'll see about making that change.

Thanks

Richard

Another approach

might be to parse the words in the near vicinity of the caret for possible hints about how camelcase ought to be applied. For example:

ArrayList arraylist = new arraylist();

the variable named 'arraylist' is a likely candidate for change to ArrayList based on the clues in the immediate proximity, if you had to guess.

Good Point!

Ah! I wondered how it would know where the word breaks were. A dictionary based search might work but I wonder how responsive it would be while editing. I guess there's really know other way to do it. Then you have the problem of mispelling. :(

The problem with typing spaces is that it's much more difficult to select multiple words to use your camelcase. Double-clicking on a single word selects it, the a key sequence with your camelcase could change it. I hope you can pull it off. :) Thanks for submitting this plugin!

It's not that smart

If your had the text "my new variable" then it would change to "myNewVariable". How is it supposed to know which character you want to capitalise? Maybe it could be done with a dictionary based search... I'll look into it.

How does camelcase work?

I tried to use the camelcase and couldn't get it to work. I selected a word like "mynewvariable" and tried the camelcase. Nothing happened. Any ideas?

Thanks!
