Abolish

Abolish is a port of vim-abolish by @tpope.

Coercion

Abolish's case mutating algorithms can be applied to the word under the cursor using the cr mapping (mnemonic: CoeRce) followed by one of the following characters:

Key	Algorithm
c	camelCase
p	PascalCase
m	MixedCase (aka PascalCase)
_	snake_case
s	snake_case
u	SNAKE_UPPERCASE
U	SNAKE_UPPERCASE
k	kebab-case (not usually reversible; see abolish-coercion-reversible)
-	dash-case (aka kebab-case)
.	dot.case (not usually reversible; see abolish-coercion-reversible)

For example, cru on a lowercase word is a slightly easier to type equivalent to gUiw.

Multiple cursor

1. CTRL-n Enter multiple cursor.
2. n Add next match.
3. <Esc> Enter normal mode.
4. cru Coerce to uppercase.

See the multiple cursors documentation for more details.

Coercion reversibility

Some separators, such as "-" and ".", are listed as "not usually reversible".

The reason is that these are not "keyword characters", so vim (and abolish.vim) will treat them as breaking a word.

For example: "key_word" is a single keyword. The dash-case version, "key-word", is treated as two keywords, "key" and "word".
