Changing case in regex replace

VS Code now supports changing the case of regex matching groups while doing a find/replace in the editor. This is done with the modifiers \u\U\l\L, where \u and \l will upper/lowercase a single character, and \U and \L will upper/lowercase the rest of the matching group.

The modifiers can also be stacked — for example, \u\u\u$1 will uppercase the first three characters of the group, or \l\U$1 will lowercase the first character, and uppercase the rest.

Currently, these are only supported in the editor’s Find control, and not in global Find in Files.

Find and Replace

We can no search in the hex editor now and comes with a similar find and replace widget. It supports searching hexadecimal fields using wildcards (for example, FF ?? DD) and regex searching on the decoded text section.
