A case converting app suitable for coding or typing

KonbuCase

KonbuCase is a small text tool app that allows you convert case in your text.

Features include:

• Click "Copy to Clipboard" button to copy the all texts in the text view without selecting them
• Convert your text between camelCase, PascalCase, Sentence case, snake_case, kebab-case, and space-separated

Installation

From Flathub or AppCenter (Recommended)

You can install KonbuCase from Flathub:

You should install KonbuCase from AppCenter if you're on elementary OS. This build is optimized for elementary OS:

From Community Packages

Community packages maintained by volunteers are also available on some distributions:

From Source Code (Flatpak)

You'll need flatpak and flatpak-builder commands installed on your system.

Run flatpak remote-add to add Flathub remote for dependencies:

flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

To build and install, use flatpak-builder, then execute with flatpak run:

flatpak-builder builddir --user --install --force-clean --install-deps-from=flathub build-aux/flathub/com.github.ryonakano.konbucase.Devel.yml
flatpak run com.github.ryonakano.konbucase.Devel

From Source Code (Native)

You'll need the following dependencies:

• blueprint-compiler
• libchcase
• libadwaita-1-dev (>= 1.5)
• libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.74)
• libgranite-7-dev (>= 7.2.0, required only when you build with granite feature enabled)
• libgtk4-dev
• libgtksourceview-5-dev
• meson (>= 0.58.0)
• valac

Run meson setup to configure the build environment and run meson compile to build:

meson setup builddir --prefix=/usr
meson compile -C builddir

To install, use meson install, then execute with com.github.ryonakano.konbucase:

meson install -C builddir
com.github.ryonakano.konbucase

The Story of the App Name

I always feel the pronunciations "Konbu" and "Conv" (Convert) sound similar (you may not feel though…). This app is a case converter, so I named this app "KonbuCase".

konbucase's Issues

Add GPL headers

Add metadata files

• .appdata.xml file
• .desktop file

GTK 4 / LibAdwaita Port

Hello,

I was wondering if I could port Konbucase to GTK 4 with the LibAdwaita UI. I know I'm technically allowed to do so, as it is GPLed (as long as I follow the GPL), but I was wondering if you would welcome this (given it seems this app hasn't really been started to be updated to GTK 4 / Libadwaita yet)?

Recalculate when changing combobox

it looks like you recalculate the conversion when typing in the entry, but it would be handy to recalculate it when changing the combox(es) as well.

Use chcase library

Changing OS-wide dark style preference is not reflected

Regression in 48cf725

Trying to input texts in result_combo_entry freezes the app

Support Title Case

Better UI

Much cuter and neater

Support Sentence case

Missing about page

Konbucase seems to target ElementryOS users.

I realized there is no about dialog. If it's not against any HIG could you please add it.

Add an app icon

Support Dark Mode

The background color of the text view is hard-coded so that it does look bad in Dark Mode.

Check desktop environment on runtime

Same fix with ryonakano/reco#149

Add CI

Package as Flatpak for elementary OS 6

As you might have heard, AppCenter is going Flatpak! For elementary OS 6, we will not longer be accepting Debian packaging, so your app will need to be updated.

We have documentation on our developer guide for writing your Flatpak manifest here: https://docs.elementary.io/develop/writing-apps/our-first-app/packaging#flatpak-manifest

Also, in case you missed it, elementary OS 6 beta 2 is now available. This is a great time to get your app packaged up as Flatpak and test that everything is working before the final release. AppCenter submission for OS 6 will be open soon, so don't delay :)

Save window size and position

Support translation

Add issue template

So that users can report GUI-related issues here and case conversion issues in chcase library.

Idea for a (possibly) better UI

It's far more intuitive, require less text, require less eye movement for the user. What do you think?

Improving the Konbucase Icon

My complains about the previous icons is the gradient is too sharp. Gradient is used in elementary to make the icon look skeuomorphic. Here, it's used for lighting on the objects in question. However, too sharp of a gradient would make the object look like it's gradient colored, instead of solid colored with light coming from the top (which is the desired effects). Other than that, the arrow feels like it's too thin and small, which makes it a bit imperceptible as an arrow. This is an improved version I've made. If this is approved, I'll make the pull request.

Change the name of the conversions....

I have no idea what each of the conversion type mean :(

Remove the old screenshot

We use the two screenshots for light/dark theme from now on, and the old one data/Screenshot.png should be removed in the next release of 4.0.0. Removing it before releasing 4.0.0 results the screenshot missing in AppCenter until the approval of that release.
