Don't kow if you already knew this but, the "~" "tilde" character changes the case of the caharacter under the cursor and "[count]~" changes the case of "count" number of characters as in "5~" changes the case of 5 characters. the count is a VIm feature but ~ is an old vi feature.

Actually, the [count]~ feature is also there in quite old vi implementations too. Even Solaris has it in old versions...
