Case tools
Did you know?
Back in the days of old printing presses, the capital letters were kept in a box that was placed higher, and the box below contained the non-capital letters. Thanks to this tradition we say Upper case (the box above) and Lower case (the box below). True story.
All Lower Case (Ctrl+Shift+L)
Converts all upper case
characters in the selection to lower case
.
Note: Characters that are not upper case
are simply left unchanged.
When Tim and I to Brisbane went, we met three ladies, cheap to rent. They were three and we were two, so I booked one and Tim-booked-two. |

Case Inversion (Ctrl+Shift+I)
Inverts case of the selected text by changing all lower case
characters to upper case
and vice versa.
Note: Characters, of which case cannot be determined and inverted, because they do not have their lower case
or upper case
counterparts, e.g. a comma or a full stop, are simply left unchanged.

Word Capitals (Ctrl+Shift+T)
Converts the first character of every word
in the selection to upper case

by this tool. For converting only the very first word
character in the entire selection to upper case
, see First Capital tool. For sentence-sensitive conversions, see Make Sentences tool.
Note: Characters that are neither lower case
nor upper case
are simply left unchanged.

Make Sentences (Ctrl+Shift+S)
Converts the first character of every sentence
in the selection to upper case

are simply left unchanged even if they are the first in a sentence.
Alice? who the f... is Alice? |
Alice? Who the f... Is Alice? |
Tip: If you want to convert all other characters in a sentence to lower case
, you have to use the All Lower Case tool (hotkey Ctrl+Shift+L) first. Only then use the Make Sentences tool.

Random Case (Alt+Ctrl+Shift+I)
Converts case of the selected text by randomly changing upper case
characters to lower case
and vice versa.
Note: Characters, of which case cannot be determined and inverted, because they do not have their lower case
or upper case
counterparts, e.g. a comma or a full stop, are simply left unchanged.

Fun Case (Alt+Ctrl+Shift+J)
Converts case of words
in the selected text by pseudo-randomly changing upper case
characters to lower case
and vice versa. The process of changing character case follows a set of fun rules mixed with randomizing functions that generate somewhat alternating character case. The results should (in some way) take after the newspeak of the 20th century.
Note: Characters, of which case cannot be determined and modified, because they do not have their lower case
or upper case
counterparts, e.g. a comma or a full stop, are simply left unchanged. Also, characters that are not part of words
are not modified.
