Change case of text selection

Please invoke "change case" functions in the PB IDE. That is, apply functions to

1. Invert case (upper becomes lower, lower becomes upper)
2. Upper case (whole selection becomes upper case)
3. Lower case (whole selection becomes lower case)
4. Sentence case (first letter of selection is capitalized)
5. Capitalize (first letter of each word in the selection is capitalized)

IMHO, I would deem the first three as essential functions of any respectable text editor included in an IDE.

TIA.

PS. Lately I've noticed several messages/posts around this subject.

I like to use the default editor for PB... I don't get the same connection using my normal text editor...

This is a good call and a feature I'd use a LOT... (selection to upper/lower is fine for me)...

I'd also like a "column selection" mode also...but not to hijack the thread..

Actually, don't registered users get all the sources to the IDE... /me goes to check...

EDIT: Ok... maybe I dreamt that the sources were available or so

I would like (hope I'm not hijacking) a "AutoMatchCase" too.

That matches the case of vars, structures and functions with what is in their definitions. So that snap to the case when they match after typing them.

(obviously toggleable from the options and off by default so as not to annoy others who don't need it)

Hold down Alt and select your text.

Oof! Smart... Thx for that one - I miss this from Ultraedit and I prefer to use the PB IDE. I read manuals. Honest.
