Explanation

VS Code (and Atom) currently use JavaScript-style regular expressions for the find/replace feature so the replace operation doesn't support switches that are available in other editors like Vim (example: \u\1) or Sublime Text (example: $1-\L$1\E).

The workflow above will achieve the same results.
