Could be a 5-way toggler:

  • UPPERCASE
  • lowercase
  • Sentence case
  • Title Case
  • back to original

And of course not only for the [A-Za-z] range, but according to Unicode rules correctly for all languages.

Hee hee. :slight_smile:

Or we’d need even more hot keys.

‘Back to original’ is tricky. You’d have to persist the original state forever.

Right. Maybe undo is good enough.

Is there some workaround, until this feature arrives?

A workaround (with inline LaTeX) has been found here: Subscript - #2 by s-kyy

If you wanted to do CO2 with the 2 in lowercase, for example, you would write $CO_2$ or $CO_{2}$

For uppercase you’d do $CO^2$

It looks like the Text Format extension for Obsidian can format the selected text into UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, etc.

The Smarter Markdown Hotkeys plugin by pseudometa can toggle between lower case/initial cap/all caps. You can add any keybinding you want—I used the same one MS Word uses.

!!! SOLVED!!!

Use “Text Format” plugin and bind its toggle case command to a key.

As @dylan_k pointed this out. I just wanted to highlight that the feature is there!

Try “Easy Typing” for auto capitalizing

Everybody is answering his own version of plugin solution. But they are more than 1000 plugins, and it can be a very hidden feature inside a plugin not appearing on search… So it will be smarter to think that for a so simple feature, it will be better to have a native feature. By the way, a setting could be added to decide about the toggle options you want. Not everybody is interested in camel case, for example…

and Capitalize please :pray:

I know you want a native feature, but I think this can be achieved with a Templater script, which you can then bind to a hotkey.

Here is a github repo with examples of templates that do text transformations and replacements. I think the one you need may be there, or you will find one that you can tweak to your liking.
