In Linux and Mac there are not default shortcuts  so try to set your custom shortcut and be careful about don t choose a hotkey used  For example     CTRL U is taken for uncomment     File-  Preferences -  Keyboard Shortcuts  Type  transfrom  in the search input to find transform shortcuts  Edit your key combination    In my case I have CTRL U CTRL U for transform to uppercase and CTRL L CTRL L for transform to lowercase    Just in case  for Mac instead of CTRL I used

Creator of the change-case extension here  I ve updated the extension to support spanning lines   To map the upper case command to a keybinding  e g  CTRL T U   click File -  Preferences -  Keyboard shortcuts  and insert the following into the json config        key    ctrl t ctrl u      command    extension changeCase upper      when    editorTextFocus      EDIT   With the November 2016  release notes  update of VSCode  there is built-in support for converting to upper case and lower case via the commands editor action transformToUppercase and editor action transformToLowercase  These don t have default keybindings  They also work with multi-line blocks   The change-case extension is still useful for other text transformations  e g  camelCase  PascalCase  snake case  kebab-case  etc

Highlight the text you want to uppercase   Then hit CTRL SHIFT P to bring up the command palette   Then start typing the word  uppercase   and you ll see the Transform to Uppercase command   Click that and it will make your text uppercase   Whenever you want to do something in VS Code and don t know how  it s a good idea to bring up the command palette with CTRL SHIFT P  and try typing in a keyword for you want  Oftentimes the command will show up there so you don t have to go searching the net for how to do something

The question is about how to make CTRL SHIFT U work in Visual Studio Code   Here is how to do it   Version 1 8 1 or above    File-  Preferences -  Keyboard Shortcuts   An editor will appear with keybindings json file  Place the following JSON in there and save             key    ctrl shift u        command    editor action transformToUppercase        when    editorTextFocus              key    ctrl shift l        command    editor action transformToLowercase        when    editorTextFocus         Now CTRL SHIFT U will capitalise selected text  even if multi line  In the same way  CTRL SHIFT L will make selected text lowercase   These commands are built into VS Code  and no extensions are required to make them work
