Utilities

Text Case Converter

This incorportated utility cycles selected text through three case styles with a single shortcut — just like Shift+F3 in Microsoft Word.

How it works / Como funciona

Press Shift+F3 with text selected to cycle through:

Step	Style	Example
1st press	Title Case	Cyclone in Tropical Latitudes
2nd press	UPPERCASE	CYCLONE IN TROPICAL LATITUDES
3rd press	lowercase	cyclone in tropical latitudes

The plugin auto-detects the current case of the selection and always advances to the next stage, so you never have to think about where you are in the cycle.

Other features / Outras funcionalidades

• Formatting preserved / Formatação preservada: bold, italic, highlight and all other rich-text styles are kept intact through every transformation.
• Cross-element word boundaries / Palavras com formatação mista: words split across formatting runs (e.g. a bold first letter) are handled correctly — only the true first letter of each word is capitalised.
