Problems changing a block of text to lowercase [2 Attachments]

Hi

I am using Toad 10.1.1.8 on Vista. I block selected some text (alt+mouse select)
in the editor, then with that text selected hit CTRL-L. Only the first line was
changed to lowercase. See the attached before and after screen shots.

Anyone else able to replicate this, and if so, any news on when it will be
fixed. Honestly, it’s a low-medium priority, but it would be nice to get
working. For the moment I do this in Textpad as a workaround.

I can reproduce is in 10.1, but not in 10.5. It may have been addressed already.

I have no problem doing Ctrl-L or CTRL-U in blocks of code with Toad 10.1 But
then I have Win XP. But it does nothing with comments. I don’t know if
that is a bug or feature.

Erwin – is that blocks of code selected with the ALT key? i.e multiple
lines, but not the entire width of each line.

I select via CTRL-A or mouse drag

And then I tried CTRL-U and CTRL-L

They work, but only on not commented code. Nothing happens to commented code.

I use Toad 10.1 on Win XP

PS

I don’t know how to select using ALT

ALT invokes block select mode. The mode you’ve been using is not block
select mode. Try selecting some text with ALT-Left Mouse Click, you’ll see
the power :slight_smile:

I must be missing a setting because Alt Mouse click does nothing for me.

There is an Editor option for Block Select.

Toad options: Editor -> Behaviour -> Block Select

Morning Erwin,

I must be missing a setting because Alt Mouse click does
nothing for me.

Make sure options->Editor->Block select is checked first.

Then, press and hold ALT (the left one) and drag across and down in the MOE -
does it select a rectangular block rather then selecting whole lines? See
attached (hopefully)

Cheers,
Norm. [TeamT]

Thanks. That did it.

If I have a list of strings (such as for an In-List operator), I can’t
highlight them all and change their case (either upper-to-lower or vice-versa).

‘a’,‘b’,‘c’

‘A’,‘B’,‘C’

Can’t convert these up or down.

I’m guessing because of the single quotes.

This is true in 10.0 and 10.5 Beta.

I think that’s the intended effect.

I think that’s the intended effect.

A way to get the “other intended” effect would be to highlight the
first starting character after the first quote and upper/lower from there. For
example, instead of highlighting the line:

‘a’,’b’,’c’

You highlight:

A’,’b’,’c

Works every time for me and I have the added benefit of selecting that first
quote when I don’t want what’s in the quotes to change :wink:
