Hi Guys,

I am wondering if someone can help create a macro with following capabilities:

You write a text -> "test macro". Now instead of having multiple macros to take of the text to either convert to upper, lower or smart case. So basically you select the text, press Shift + F3 (significance of this will be mentioned shortly) and it cycles between all the text formats.

This feature is available in Microsoft Word, you select the text and press Shift + F3 to cycle between text format (upper, lower, smart).

Attaching a GIF from Microsoft Word below to give an idea of end result.

Thanks in Advance!

I was able to put together a Macro that should do what you need. Here's how to get it into ClipboardFusion:

Download the file attached to this post
Open the ClipboardFusion Settings window
On the "Macros" tab, click the "Import" button
Select the file you downloaded in the first step
In the window that pops up, you can review the code and assign the Macro a HotKey
Click OK to close the Macro Edit window, then OK again to save and apply your changes

I hope this works for you!

Hi Thomas,

Just one thing, I am wondering if it's possible to keep the text selected after running the macro, so I can run the macro multiple times? This is just an enhancement request, really grateful for the macro

Thanks!

I don't think it's able to sorry. ClipboardFusion is currently just sending a Ctrl+V keystroke to paste the text in the active window. If the program you're using has some sort of API that ClipboardFusion could use to control the selected text, then it could be possible.

I hope this helps!
