capitalize the current word in insert mode

how can one capitalize the current word or the 
word just before the current cursor position 
with out leaving the insert mode ? leaving insert
mode and capitalize and come back to insert mode
is becoming a tedious task for me ...:)

A simple remap, perhaps:

  :inoremap <C-U> <Esc>gUawea

Best,

In attempting to answer sinbad's question, I figured it was the
perfect opportunity for i_CTRL-\_CTRL-u which is described as "like
CTRL-O but don't move the cursor".  So I created a mapping:

  :inoremap ~ <c-bslash><c-o>gUB

yet if I insert "This is a test~" (expecting it to change it to
"This is a TEST" with the cursor where it started after "test") it
changes where my insertion point is.  Are others seeing this too?
Is this a bug or my misunderstanding of i_CTRL-\_CTRL-u?

PS: to the OP, you can use

  :inoremap <f4> <esc>gUiwgi

which is just these 3 bits together:

:help gU
:help iw
:help gi

This is a misunderstanding on your side. What i_Ctrl-\_Ctrl-O does (I 
assume you mean 'o' and not 'u'?), is it doesn't move the cursor when 
entering temporary normal mode like Ctrl-O does (e.g. it steps the 
cursor back by one char, like ESC does).

But of course you can still move the cursor using a normal mode command. 
And then the cursor will stay there.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Christian

Doh, yes...type it once wrong and copy/paste elsewhere and it just
makes me look like an idiot :)

Ah, okay.  I'd (mis)understood it as "I want to issue one
normal-mode command and regardless of what happens, the cursor
should remain where it is currently", not "don't move the cursor
back one character"

The fact, that I guessed your key correctly means, I suspected a 
copy-paste error.

Here is your chance to improve the documentation. I am sure Bram happily

Assuming you're in normal mode, you can visually select the word then use the ~ command to switch the case:

I hardly ever capitalize entire words (with the possible exception of
shell/environment variables), but since you know you are going to stay
in insert mode, wouldn't this be a clear case of using the CapsLk key..
or imap some keyboard action to toggle an ‘allcaps’ keymap if you don't
have one on your keyboard..?
