Change Case with OS X Services

While I'm a veteran OS X user and I only recently discovered the highly useful Services feature in the OS. The Services menu is always found under the active application's name in the menubar and can be configured to match your exact needs.

For example I frequently get text from clients in various formats and I need to change the case of the copy. Some applications have built-in change case command and there are websites that help you with the task such as convert case.

But I wanted to save a few clicks and have a consistent way to change case across different applications. So I installed a small Service add-on called ChangeCase that gives me the following commands under the Services menu:

1. ALL CAPS — Turns all selected text into all caps.
2. All lowercase — Turns all selected text into lowercase letters. The most useful of all.
3. CamelCase — Removes spaces and Capitalizes every word. Mostly used for brand names, such as AstroTurf, but it can be useful to create file names without spaces.
4. Toggle Case — Turns uppercase into lowercase and vica versa. Can't think of a use for this one.
5. Word Capitals — Capitalizes every word. Mostly used for headlines and titles.

To install this service just download it and place it under System/Library/Services/, then restart (or logout) and enable it under System Preferences / Keyboard / Keyboard Shortcuts.
