7You could also use the generic "ctrl + shift + p" shortcut, and then type "uppercase" or "lowercase" to access the corresponding command. – Fab313 Aug 06 '16 at 16:05

3What does `Cmd + K` or `Ctrl + K` mean? – mcvkr Jul 31 '17 at 22:05

1@mCeviker It means press the keyboard keys. `Cmd` is the key labelled "cmd" on a Mac. `Ctrl` is the key labelled "ctrl". When we write it with a "+" sign it means "Hold `Ctrl` and press `K` at the same time. This is a convention that is often used for keyboard shortcuts. – martin jakubik Aug 01 '17 at 08:39

5Yes of course I know that means press some keyboard keys, but for example cmd + u 'makes uppercase' , I am asking what does 'cmd + k' do? – mcvkr Aug 01 '17 at 12:04

6@mCeviker oh, right :) (I answered the question as if for keyboard n00bs) ... To answer YOUR question, `Cmd + K` means "enter command mode" or something like that. I can't find an authoritative source. But there are other commands that are activated by first hitting `Cmd + K`. – martin jakubik Aug 01 '17 at 12:55
