VS Code Regex find and replace with lowercase, use \l or \L if possible

Question

Is there a way to do a find and replace (regex) all uppercase characters in the matching strings with lowercase ones? Preferably in VS Code or IntelliJ I already have my reg

Answer 1

• Press Ctrl + F
• Select .* button and enter your RegEx
• Press Ctrl + Shift + L (Select All)
• Press Ctrl + Shift + P
• Choose Transform to Lowercase

If you want to modify only part of the matching text you have to do 1 step extra.

If you press Ctrl + Shift + L in the Find dialog it selects the full matching text but you can't move the (multi) cursors and make a partial selection.

After entering the regex, VSC will show you which parts will match the find.

• Click somewhere in the file
• Press Ctrl + Shift + L (Select All)

Now you can move the (multi) cursors and make a partial selection and apply the needed transform.
