The ability to change casing of the selected text when renaming a file would be awesome.
Some text and code editors allow you to do this. Usually the key bindings are:
- CTRL + U: set selected text lowercase
- CTRL + SHIFT + U: set selected text uppercase
While editing files in XYplorer, it already fells like we are in an editor, particularly when pressing up and down arrows and you go to the next line (file).
Sometimes I want to change the casing of just part of the file name. Instead of typing it myself (and risking making a typo), I copy the text to a text editor, use the feature I mention to change it, copy it back and rename the file.
Having the suggested option in XYplorer would speed this process significantly.

WOW! thanks. It already has this, awesome.
So:
- F5: capitalize
- SHIFT + F5: uppercase
- CTRL + F5: lowercase
thanks

And, is there a way to customize this hotkeys?
If that's the case, I would change them to match what is used in other software (ex: VS Code).

Re: Hability to change casing of selected text when renaming a file
I looked around and found that
- CTRL + U: Make selected text lowercase
- CTRL + SHIFT + U: Make selected text uppercase
is almost a standard, so I added it. It will work in the next beta.

Amazing! thank you so much 
Re: Hability to change casing of selected text when renaming a file
Does this replace the F5 options that jupe quoted above? Or is this in addition to the F5s?

Addition. (You could have found out yourself.)

Re: Hability to change casing of selected text when renaming a file
The feature works great. I've been testing it. And I've just noticed something. It doesn't work in the Live Filter Toolbar Box. F5 works, but not the new hotkeys.
Also, CTRL+Z (undo) doesn't do anything in that edit box, is that intentional?.
