Shortcut to Uppercase Selected Text in Oracle SQL Developer

in 4.2.0.17 highlight the word(s) then Alt + '

Under Tools->Preferences->Shortcut Keys you can find and/or define the shortcut key combination for the Convert Selection to Uppercase and Convert Selection to Lowercase commands. I have mine mapped to CTRL+U and CTRL+L respectively. There unfortunately does not appear to be a specific command for converting text to Initcap, so the To Upper/Lower/Initcap command is the way to go for that. However, be aware that the To Upper/Lower/Initcap command actually cycles between five format modes:

• UPPERCASE
• lowercase
• Initcap
• Lower Keywords, Upper Identifiers
• Upper Keywords, Lower Identifiers

Some of these modes will change the behavior of the code formatter (default key sequence CTRL+F7), and the Tools->Preferences->Code Editor->Completion Insight->Change case as you type setting if you have it enabled.

This is perhaps and old question, but I noticed that while on Mac, the keyboard shortcut for cycle is unbound.

I followed the above suggestions in

tools->preferences->shortcuts

and bound it myself to ctrl + ' but note that in 4.2 on Mac by default this is unbound.
