What problem does Change Text Case via Shift + Up/Down solve?
Transcribed records on Ancestry and other genealogy sites often arrive in ALL CAPS, which is fine for the source but ugly when copied into a name, place, or description field in your tree. Fixing the case by hand means retyping the whole field. Change Text Case via Shift + Up/Down lets you flip any text field between UPPERCASE and Title Case with a single keystroke.
How does Change Text Case via Shift + Up/Down work?
Click into any text field on a genealogy site, whether a name, place, fact description, or any other input box. Pressing Shift + Up converts the entire contents of the field to UPPERCASE, and pressing Shift + Down converts it to Title Case. The shortcut works on any standard text input on any page where the extension runs.
