Converting text to Title case in Notepad++

The TextFX plugin has this feature, they call it "Proper Case". You can find it under TextFX -> TextFX Characters -> Proper Case:

You can use replace text by regular expression:

Explanation:

Search text

• \< matches the beginning of a word
• (\w+) matches any sucession of word letters

Substituted by

• \L translates everything to lowercase until the end of the replacement string
• \u translates the next letter to uppercase

• \1 places the first captured () search group

As the way has changed in the meantime here is how it works now (without TextFX):

Select the case you want to convert, press Alt-U or choose

Edit - Convert Case to - Title Case.

If you can't install the TextFX plug in you can create a macro that does something very close:

Place your cursor near a word, and click the red dot on the tool bar, or Macro>Start Recording.

1. Use the ctrl+shift+← (left arrow key), to select the whole word

2. Make it lowercase (ctrl+u).

3. Press ← to go to the front of the word.

4. Highlight the first letter (using shift+→ once)

5. Uppercase that, (ctrl+shift+u).

Press the black square, or go to Macro>Stop Recording. In the same section on the tool bar you should see a button with a floppy disk on it (alternatively there is an option in the macro menu). Press that and assign a hot key, I use ctrl+shift+alt+u.
