keyboard shortcut for changing the shorcut
 
Hi everybody...!
I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga) I eagerly want to know whether there is any keyboard shortcut for changing the case of command while typing command on the command line.
For example: I want to modify the the file 'DEMO.txt'
but I wrongly typed 'demo.txt'
$ vi demo.txt
So how can I change demo.txt to DEMO.txt using keyboard on same line without clearing the existing command.
I have searched a lot for this but didn't get any solution..:-(

Hope some one will have solution for this..!

Shortcuts will be dependent on terminals. Which terminal you are using ? Are you working on linux directly or connecting through a terminal (like putty/telnet) from windows ?

if you want to change the case or any other thing related to commands then you need to use

Code:
#alias LS='ls -l'
this one is temporary but for permanent changes

Code:
#vi /root/.bashrc
(make an entry)
alias LS='ls -l'

This doesn't seems command if you are talking about renaming file name then

Code:
#mv demo.txt DEMO.txt

If you are talking about changing case inside vi editor then the place for you is

Code:
#man vi

I would be really glad if you clarify me because as per my last post I replied to every line of OP

changing the case in what sense??
Code:
using CAPS LOCK?

using mv command(to rename a file?)

Well thanks Asimba & Deep27ak for the reply...
The issue is still not resolved....!
Using vi, mv we can change the case but the question was to use keyboard shortcut while typing the command & changing the case of typed word on that same line & of course without using 'caps lock'.
Is there any shortcut you guise know for this?

e.g: if I press shift + ~ character it will change the case of the word in vi editor mode for that you have to be in the vi editor, and I want same functionality for changing the case of the words on command line itself..?

And please accept my regrets if I was unable to put my question in right manner...!
