This is pretty easy to do with regular expressions in the find/replace form:
For both conversions, make sure the Search Mode of the find/replace form is set to Regular expressions.

Camel to snake:

FIND: (?-i)([a-z])([A-Z])
REPLACE WITH: ${1}_\l${2}

Snake to camel:

FIND: (?-i)([a-z])_([a-z])
REPLACE WITH: ${1}\u${2}
example of snake case (should be converted to camel by my Snake to camel regex):

_foo = __bar + now_is_the_time_for_all_good_men

class foo_bar:
    def __init__(self, blah_man_zoo, _foo, baz_):
        self.blah_man_zoo = blah_man_zoo
        self._foo = _foo
        self.baz_ = baz_

    def __repr__(self):
        return self._foo + self.baz_

    def baz(_foo):
        return _foo

example of camel case (should be converted to snake by my camel to snake regex):

_foo = __bar + nowIsTheTimeForAllGoodMen

class fooBar:
    def __init__(self, blahManZoo, _foo, baz_):
        self.blahManZoo = blahManZoo
        self._foo = _foo
        self.baz_ = baz_

    def __repr__(self):
        return self._foo + self.baz_

    def baz(_foo):
        return _foo

Hello, @bernard, @mark-olson and All,

@bernard, see also this old post :

Note that some of the capitalisation rules, presented in this post, are now directly accessible, from within N++, via the Edit > Convert Case To menu option. !

It sounds like you’re requesting a feature that allows you to convert text between snake_case and camelCase. This can be a useful utility for developers and anyone working with code. While I can’t directly implement features, I can provide you with a simple Python code snippet that demonstrates how you can convert text between these two cases. You can use this as a starting point to create a dedicated tool or integrate it into your projects

It sounds like you’re using generative AI to create responses to topics in the forum. That can be a useful utility for developers and anyone working with code. Unfortunately, use of generative AI to respond to posts on this forum is banned.

If that’s not what’s happening, and your post just happened to have the style of a ChatGPT response, then I apologize.
