Make selected block of text uppercase

Question

Can I make a multi-line selection of text all capitals in Visual Studio Code?

In full Visual Studio it\'s CTRL+SHIFT+U

Answer 1

Change letter case in Visual Studio Code

To upper case: Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U

and to lower case: Ctrl+K, Ctrl+L.

Mnemonics:

K like the Keyboard

U like the Upper case

L like the Lower case

Answer 2

I think you can use Step 1: Select text Step 2: Ctrl + Shift + P Step 3: Enter Uppercae

Answer 3

Without defining keyboard shortcuts

1. Select the text you want capitalized

2. Open View->Command Palette (or Shift+Command+P)

3. Start typing "Transform to uppercase" and select that option

4. Voila!

Answer 4

It is the same as in eclipse:

• Select text for upper case and Ctrl + Shift + X
• Select text for lower case and Ctrl + Shift + Y

Answer 5

In Linux and Mac there are not default shortcuts, so try to set your custom shortcut and be careful about don't choose a hotkey used (For example, CTRL+U is taken for uncomment)

1. File-> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
2. Type 'transfrom' in the search input to find transform shortcuts.
3. Edit your key combination.

In my case I have CTRL+U CTRL+U for transform to uppercase and CTRL+L CTRL+L for transform to lowercase

Just in case, for Mac instead of CTRL I used ⌘

Answer 6

The question is about how to make CTRL+SHIFT+U work in Visual Studio Code. Here is how to do it. (Version 1.8.1 or above).

File-> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

An editor will appear with keybindings.json file. Place the following JSON in there and save.

[
 {
    "key": "ctrl+shift+u",
    "command": "editor.action.transformToUppercase",
    "when": "editorTextFocus"
 },
 {
    "key": "ctrl+shift+l",
    "command": "editor.action.transformToLowercase",
    "when": "editorTextFocus"
 }
]

Now CTRL+SHIFT+U will capitalise selected text, even if multi line. In the same way, CTRL+SHIFT+L will make selected text lowercase.

These commands are built into VS Code, and no extensions are required to make them work.
