To toggle between cases, you can use the ~ character.

In Command mode, it toggles the character under the cursor and in Visual mode it toggles the highlighted text.

@Jakub : it’s easier to just convert the whole file in lowercase :
1gguG

Hi,

to change all UPPERCASE letters to lowercase letters in a file:

:%s/[A-Z]/\L&/g

This also works if you don’t have a selection. For example, uppercase until the end of the word:

gUw

Or, two words:

gU2w

Or, end of the line:

gU$

Or, next 10 characters:

gU10l

Hi,

Just noticed this. Thanks for the tip, but the command doesn’t have a : prefix. Just use it as directed but without :
