In many projects there are coding rule and checks to enforce them. During refactorings, it happens that e.g. a field is changed to be 'static final' which also implies that the name must be changed from lower camel to MACRO_CASE. When doing this for many items, this is very annoying. I can use "to upper case" but then I need to manually place the underscores. I wish, I had a short-cut that lets me switch around the case: lowerCamelCase (1) -> UpperCamelCase (2) -> lower_snake_case (3) -> UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (4) -> lowerCamelCase ... Word boundaries are always kepts, hence cycling is possible. If there would be a simple all-upper-case, this would lose the boundaries. For a single word lower case word, that might be a bit challenging, because (1) and (3) are the same word. Here the mechanism need to remember its last state, so it can decide what is next for this case.
The lower_snake_case I am not sure if this is needed. At least in Java projects, I did never use it. In CDT C/C++ this is useful. So this might be a preference setting, if this is part of the cycle.
Similar functionality is provided by AnyEdit Tools: https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/anyedit-tools It adds convert menu, and shortcuts for conversions.
