I have the impression that Chatterbox matters are not high on the agenda here at PM, so this may be of little interest to others.

There are occasions when I am working in an app where it is best to stay in CAPSLOCK, so when I go the the CB, I often forget to switch back to unlock until I'm quite a ways into writing my post. (D'oh) Rather than erase it all and start over, I'd like to propose a new CB tag, "/cs" (case swap).

In use, when I realize I'm in the wrong case, I would type "/cs", hit the HOME key to go back to the start of the line and type another "/cs", then hit the END key to get back to where I was, where I would continue typing in the correct case. When I hit submit, the CB software would invert the case of all text between the two tags and no one would ever know I was a keyboard klutz.

I await your comments.
