Camel Case Code

[Gary Beene]

I though I'd seen this discussed a few years back, couldn't find any
related posts - regarding Camel case code styling.

I'd like to have these 4 code style options:
1. As Typed - whatever the user wants ListVIEW
2. Camel - matches case of keyword in keyword text file ListView
3. Upper - LISTVIEW
4. Lower - listview

The only way I can get Camel to work is to actually replace the text in the
document during lexing. I first halt undo recording, then start it again to
avoid raising the dirty document flag. But that approach means I can never
return to As Typed for pre-existing content.

Is there a way to do what I want?

The document should be treated as read-only in the lexer. Lexing is designed around reading the document and writing styles and folding data.

This is fighting against Scintilla so is unlikely to work well.

It would be difficult and you will have to modify the Scintilla source code. Search for caseUpper.
