Keyboard shortcut to cycle through "change case"?

[casinclaire]

Am I dreaming? I thought I'd come across a keyboard shortcut involving the F3 key that cycled through the "change case" function -- possibly in conjunction with another key (cntrl, alt, shift?), but today it's not working. Maybe this is a keyboard shortcut in some other software and I've just gotten myself confused? Does anyone know anything about this? If this cycle-through feature doesn't exist in InDesign, it should, and if no one knows about this particular shortcut -- maybe I am dreaming -- I'll go add it to the feature request page.

It's a Microsoft Word shortcut - it's Shift +F3 to cycle between case options. 

Years ago, Ariel at IdExtras.com wrote a Javascript that mimics this cycling-through-case-settings behavior in InDesign. You could even assign the Shift + F3 shortcut to it if you wanted to recreate this exact shortcut in InDesign.

@Joel Cherney that's close to how I'm using Ariel's script, though I assigned the shortcut ctrl+shift+tilde as it's a shortcut I don't use anywhere else.

Good suggestion re using the tilde as part of the shortcut assignment. I'll keep that in mind when I try the script!

Thanks for setting me straight on where to use that keyboard shortcut. 🙂  Also, thanks for the link to the script. I'll ck it out for sure!
