What I would like to see is an Format action that would fix the case in
the selection to the preferred style (Upper case/ Lower case and 'first
letter upper') Camel case would be interesting but it would require some
kind of dictionary, we might be able to do this for the RPG keywords (or at
least anything after a hyphen is also capitalise).
We have a few RFEs that are related (wizards generate in preferred case)
I would like to see a general solution.
Feel free to open an RFE along these lines.

Often, I need to change case to upper/lower in between the quotation marks.
How would you know when you want it, and when you do not?
I turn on the option to make my DDS/DSPF uppercase, so it will compile. So
the auto uppercase does not touch stuff in between quotation marks.
As far as I know, not even other editors have a feature NOT to change case
of what you select to change case.
This sounds like a case for a RFE to me. It would be cool, but to be
honest, I would NOT use it that much myself. And I use quote literals all
over place, because of my interface with other systems.
OH yeah, using the Linoma RPG Toolbox, it does not touch change case
between quotation marks. Cool!!! I *assume* other conversion utilities do
the same, but that would be my "assumption".

I use this feature quite a bit when modernizing some of my old programs...
one gotcha is the fact that it lowercases "literal" values.
Example:
IGRIDC = 'IG';
Becomes
igridc = 'ig';
Is there any way to prevent this? The editor obviously recognizes literals
