What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. desire to convert from UPPER to lower or vv
2. look in the menu bar under Edit, search issues, wikis and discussion group
3. accept that this feature does not exist

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

There is a feature in the menu bar and with a shortcut that allows one to toggle the case of selected text from UPPER to lower case and vv

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Windows-7 (AMD64)/Xubuntu-13.10 (AMD64)/Ubuntu-13.10 (x86)
Python-2.7.6 (AMD64)

Here some examples of key combinations from other editors that do the same thing:

editor	UPPER	lower
MATLAB	ctr-shift-U	ctrl-U
Notepad++	ctr-shift-U	ctrl-U
PyDev	ctrl-shift-X	ctrl-shift-Y
Sublime-Text-2	ctrl-K, ctrl-U	ctrl-K, ctrl-L

Thanks, guys. (Sometimes it is just the little things that count.)

I think we should follow Matlab's shortcuts here. @goanpeca, what do you think?
