is there a mac keyboard shortcut or quick easy way to turn a typed line of lower case into upper case without having to retype the whole sentence?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
Thank you for your quick responses.
This was to change the case font of lettering in a post thread in a browser forum (yeh - FaceBook lol)
When I tried shift+command+U it opens "Utilities".
What I was able to do was "copy" the text from the browser Forum into a "New Message" in "Mail". From there I could access the "Text Transformations" > "Make Upper Case" option from the "Edit" drop down menu in the upper toolbar. Worked like a charm.
Hit "Edit" in Forum thead; "Delete" thread response and "Paste" in edited response.
I don't use "Text Edit" very often. I do use "Mail" and "New Message" as a word processor app to edit material.

You may be able to use 'Text Transformations'. Select the text & right click, it should bring up a menu, within there is a 'Transformations > Make uppercase' item, that should work in most apps.
Another option is to setup a service with a shortcut…
Open 'Apple Menu > System Preferences > Keyboard, Shortcuts' tab. Select the 'Services'. Scroll through the list & look of the 'Text' section. Enable the 'Convert to uppercase' & 'Convert to lowercase' items & assign a shortcut to them.
this options is not available anymore.
This post is 2 years old - nothing lasts forever, especially Apple software features!
If you can't see the option anymore you can complain to Apple or try making/ finding a Service to replace the feature.
I suspect there is an AppleScript solution but I have not looked. Post your own question to get better suggestions, or use http://www.apple.com/feedback/
CMD+SHIFT+A to toggle between lower case and upper case.
In some applications (such as TextEdit), you can select the text and press the key combination shift-command-U.

So click on the help menu in Pages & enter 'Uppercase' or 'Lowercase'.
If Pages has that feature it should list it as a 'Menu Item' & allow you to see where it is in the menus by selecting it in the list.
Not every app has the same shortcuts or features. Ask in the Pages forum for better help this topic is full of 'me too' posts that make it difficult to see what is specific to each person.
I understand, just wondering, there is a direct replacement of this option.
Anyway, I'll leave as a feedback and see.
Thanks.

WordService from Devon Technologies will do what you want. Just make sure you enable the features you want from within the Services pane, as shown above.
Toggles non-caps to CAPS just great in Word 2017 for Mac. TY!
