How to switch text case in visual studio code

Question

How does one switch the case of highlighted text in Visual Studio Code  VS allows this via CTRL SHIFT U and CTRL U    Is there a command binding that I can set up to do this  or is it by default some other key combination

For those who fear to mess anything up in your vscode json settings this is pretty easy to follow.

Open "File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts" or "Code -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts" for Mac Users
In the search bar type transform.
By default you will not have anything under Keybinding. Now double-click on Transform to Lowercase or Transform to Uppercase.
Press your desired combination of keys to set your keybinding. In this case if copying off of Sublime i will press ctrl+shift+u for uppercase or ctrl+shift+l for lowercase.
Press Enter on your keyboard to save and exit. Do same for the other option.
Enjoy KEYBINDING

I think this is a feature currently missing right now   I noticed when I was making a guide for the keyboard shortcut differences between it and Sublime   It s a new editor though  I wouldn t be surprised if they added it back in a new version   Source  https   code visualstudio com Docs customization

I ve written a Visual Studio Code extension for changing case  not only upper case  many other options   https   github com wmaurer vscode-change-case  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 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   The change-case extension is still useful for other text transformations  e g  camelCase  PascalCase  snake-case  etc

Quoted from this post        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   You can also choose a different key combination       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
