I expected that there was a function I overlooked, but I did not.
Luckily it is easy to add the missing functionality in Emacs. :-D
The thing-at-point did not work for me. I rewrote it to:
(defun flip-case ()
(interactive)
(let ((c (char-after)))
(when c
(delete-char 1)
(insert-char
(if (eq c (upcase c))
(downcase c)
(upcase c))))))
I also added a check for there being a current character.
For the keyboard shortcut I use:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-~") 'flip-case)
I like to flip a lot of characters in one swell swoop.
Thanks for putting me in the right direction.
