I’ve been using snippets and completions and they’re a great feature and certainly have their uses. What I’m curious about, however, is a feature to auto-replace/format text as I type it. Specifically, I’m imagining case-conversion. I use a number of languages where TitleCase or camelCase is the norm. Let’s take JavaScript, for example. Is there a feature or plugin that could convert the following text after I finish typing the name?

isnan   ==> isNaN
charat  ==> charAt

I guess it would be similar to a completion but one that works automatically after the entire “trigger” is typed and without requiring the use of [Tab]/[Enter]?

It would be great if it was regex-definable or would at least consider word borders like parens so that function names, arrays, etc. would work properly. For example:

isnan(      ==> isNaN(
isnandgate  ==> isnandgate    // "isnan" does not occur between word borders. No substitution.

Does anyone have any suggestions for plugins or features native to Sublime that could accomplish this type of request?

Thanks.

Doesn’t the inbuilt autosuggest help you out here? With things I type repeatedly, eg. variable, constant & function names, sublime’s autosuggest gives you a list when you start typing a few letters. It will remember your favourites as defaults, and you quickly learn to use a few keys and tab to get those awkward words after a while. eg, for isNaN i just type inn. You should only have to type it “properly” once.

Nonetheless, the only Autocorrect I’ve seen activates on . I imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to fork that plugin to add scope sensitivity and act upon any word separator.

Yes, the built-in autosuggest would bring up “isNaN” from a previous occurrence. As it is, I already have “isNaN” defined as a completion so it brings it up even w/o having been used previously. But it won’t automatically correct the case unless I hit [Tab]. So I’m looking for a feature like completions but one that occurs automatically as I type, w/o the need for acceptance (tab). Take any of the VB languages (VB6, VBA, VBScript, VB.NET), for example, which use TitleCase for their keywords (not a requirement, but in practice) . “If”, “Do”, “As”, “In”, “To”, etc. are all keywords where hitting [Tab] wouldn’t make much sense. After all, I’m only entering two letters.

I’ll see if I can find the autocorrect plugin you’re referring to and see if it can be adapted to accommodate my requirements. Thanks.
