Convert snake_case to camelCase in VS Code

Explanation

VS Code (and Atom) currently use JavaScript-style regular expressions for the find/replace feature so the replace operation doesn't support switches that are available in other editors like Vim (example: \u\1) or Sublime Text (example: $1-\L$1\E).

The workflow above will achieve the same results.

A simpler approach for me is to

  1. search with regex pattern _ [a-z]
  2. Do a "find all" (multi-cursor), option + enter on Mac OS
  3. Delete the underscores
  4. Select the letter and change to upper case using the command palette.
