How do I make a lowercase string uppercase using Eclipse? I want to select a string and either uppercase it or lowercase it. Is there a shortcut for doing this?

By default, the hotkeys:

CTRL+SHIFT+Y changes to lowercase.

CTRL+SHIFT+X changes to UPPERCASE.

Or, on a Mac:

⌘+⇧+Y changes to lowercase.

⌘+⇧+X changes to UPPERCASE.
