How do I convert selected text to lowercase in visual mode?

Explanation

In visual mode, pressing u converts all selected text to lowercase. Combined with U for uppercase and ~ for toggle, this gives complete case control.

How it works

• Select text with any visual mode
• Press u to convert all selected characters to lowercase
• The selection is deselected after conversion

Example

HELLO WORLD

Select with V, press u:

hello world

Tips

• U converts to uppercase in visual mode
• ~ toggles case in visual mode
• This is useful for fixing accidentally typed uppercase text
• Works with block selections for column-specific case changes
