Eclipse: convert upper case text to lower case and viceversa with a simple shortcut

Category: ide — Davide Zanotti @ 8:02 am

This is just a quick post to share these 2 little shortcuts to convert text from lower case to uppercase and viceversa in Eclipse.

Lower case: CTRL+SHIFT+Y (CMD+SHIFT+Y on Mac OS X)
Upper case: CTRL+SHIFT+X (CMD+SHIFT+X on Mac OS X)

In both the combination you can select one or more character to convert.

    Anyone know if there’s a shortcut key to convert to camel case ?

    As in, “SOME TEXT” too “Some Text”
