Quickly changing the case of selected text. Clients often send text with all caps or no caps and clicking through a ton of text to fix the case is often tedious work. I created this simple but effective plugin to eliminate that chore. Based on a request I have added a fourth button to add Sentence Case as well. So if you have a large block of text with . ? or ! between sentences it will Cap only the first letter of each sentence. There is an Options Page to enable or disable any of the buttons. **_NEW_** I have also added keyboard shorcuts! Ctrl+Shift+L = Lowercase Ctrl+Shift +U = Uppercase Ctrl+Shift+S = Sentence Case Ctrl+Shift+T = Title Case (I do not own a mac to test on but command should work according to the TinyMCE documentation) ### Usage Highlight the text to be changed. Click the Visual Editor button inside your post/ page for the desired effect: * **UC** – Changes selected text to all Uppercase. * **lc** – Changes selected text to all lowercase. * **Sc** – Changes selected text to all Sentence case. * **Tc** – Changes selected text to all Title case. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Use buttons in WordPress TinyMCE Visual Editor ## FAQ ### Q. Where can the plugin be used? The plugin can be used in the WordPress Visual Editor ### Q. Can I turn off some of the buttons? Yes, there is a plugin options page that allows you to choose which buttons to display in the Visual Editor. Even when buttons are off the keyboard shortcuts still work. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/05ef527c3a8ba5d28a3beb6cb19da63bdeb09325057cce406e96aba1e59fdad0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does Not Work in Blocks in Chrome on Mac](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-work-in-blocks-in-chrome-on-mac/)󠁿 [ktsparkman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ktsparkman/) January 31, 2023 I don’t know if this is browser dependent but does not work on Mac in Blocks viewing with Chrome. Keystrokes as described also do not work on Mac. (I’m sure developer has a friend with a Mac to check?) Only converts all caps to all lower case and then you cannot change initial cap. Happy to send a screen recording to developer if you’d like. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cb1e6f928f27e8a80c5a6743db75d27d3d5ec884bce21c16a9e4f7e374fd27b3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not AP Title Case](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-ap-title-case/)󠁿 [Dugonja](https://profiles.wordpress.org/h3llas/) November 23, 2021 Title case is not AP style title case.
