Research direction
Investigate how Vim's substitute command handles case preservation (e.g., \c, \C flags) and how VS Code's find and replace API supports case transformation in replacement strings. Review the extension's existing search/replace implementation in the codebase, particularly the 'cmdReplaceHandler' or similar functions. Look at related issues or PRs that may have addressed similar functionality.
