Daily Trick 38. Text Transform (10.6)
When I browsed through new features of Snow Leopard, I stumbled on text transformation feature built-in on TextEdit. Using this feature, you can easily capitalize, make lower case, or turn words into upper case.
This new feature can be found on TextEdit Menubar · Edit → Transformations.
Putting productivity on the top priority, I create keyboard shortcuts for each of the action. If you want to do the same thing, you can follow these steps:
- Open System Preferences and click on Keyboard
- From the Keyboard Preferences Pane, go inside the Keyboard Shortcuts section
- Click on the [+] button and an additional menu will appear
-
And these particulars can be used:
Application: TextEditFor creating keyboard shortcut to make highlighted words upper case.
Menu Title: Make Upper Case
Keyboard Shortcut: Cmd-Shift-↑ - Menu Title can be changed to Make Lower Case or Capitalize to create another shortcuts for another two text transformation actions
As you can see from screenshot on the left side, now I have applied my customized shortcuts for these new text transformation actions.
Hope that I can help you improving your productivity with this little trick.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.sy2jIWsoK5NY5sy0

Thanks for the tip, but does anyone else have trouble getting this to work? I've done what it says, but the "Transformations" part of the menu never seems to appear. Any help?
