Why can't I just highlight text, press Caps Lock, and...

... make that text upper case (or vice versa)? Seems so simple and yet I've searched high and low for a software that can do this and haven't found anything for Windows or OS X.

Personally, I think this should be an OS feature that should have been invented by now.

Does anyone know about anything that can do this?

 

Very easily done in Word. (Shift+F3)

 

That's awesome. I'd never heard of that before. Beats doing it one character at a time in VI.

 

Oh, I didn't know that, thanks. But what about for browsers or a universal software for all text?

 

Browsers aren't word processors you know. If you want a browser to do all a word processor does it will be too bloated with code so I wouldn't even want to ask for that feature.

 

Agreed it should be an OS feature, and I honestly don't know why it isn't. Perhaps you should go file a software patent on it, those seem to be all the rage right now.

 

It's built into many OS X applications (including Safari, TextEdit and Mail). Look for Transformations in the Edit menu.

Any good text editor will also have support for this. My new personal favorite is the $60 editor called Sublime Text. It's crazy good and available for OS X, Windows and Linux.

 

I haven't signed in here for ages but had to sign in tonight to give you +1 for this.
