#textmanipulation — Public Fediverse posts

It would be so incredibly awesome if the MS Office/LibreOffice shortcut of Shift+F3 – to switch between different types of capitalization/case for selected text – could be implemented as a generic shortcut in Linux, that just worked in every application.

Discovered a neat new tool last week: https://github.com/wr7/refold

It's similar to `fmt` and `fold` except that it automatically handles prefixes. Vim/Neovim `gq` can do this out of the box but fails (for me at least) when multiple prefixes are present, such as a Markdown block-quote inside Rust comments. E.g.

```
// > Some quoted text
// > to reflow.
```

`refold` handles this.

I tend to follow the logic of `awk` better than the one of `sed` (not being a `vi` enthusiast), but it is good to see when one might be better than the other:
