Question about Kate find and replace keeping case

Help
1

Does Kate (or a plugin) have the capability of keeping case for find and replace?

For example, executing a find a replace with “BadJob/GoodJob” would so the following:

‘badjob’ → ‘goodjob’
‘BadJob’ → ‘GoodJob’
‘badJob’ → ‘goodJob’
‘BADJOB’ → ‘GOODJOB’

Thanks!

Yes it has always done only what it was instructed to do in my experience. And a test of your example shows this to be the case. With it only replacing the Badjob it was told to do.

My apologies, I wasn’t clear. I want to to perform the replacement regardless of case, but maintain the case of what is replaced.

Well then the only thing I can suggest is to try using the Regular Expression mode and see if it possible using that.
