  I often need to change cases of some large texts, like from lowercase to capitals, or uppercase to title-like i.e. with first letters being a capital one
  
  Currently in order to do it I must: select it, copy it, open CorelDRAW or some advanced text editor, paste it into a program, select the text again, use on it a proper case feature, copy it, paste it over the originally selected text; and when such text is a name of file or folder then I must add to this equation also steps for accessing of the rename option
  
  So it would time and click saving if a user could just select text or an item and execute on it from QAP a transformation to desired version of letter case

  @Popleft: I recommend using Autohotkey (directly) - here's one of many solutions for your problem, check out the link. By using AHK you can customize this exactly to your needs.

  It is my miserable failing at building a menu with entries [bearing simple texts ready for pasting them in wherever deemed necessary] has led me to finding QAP [and then to usage of its handy Snippets]

  This works, thank you. But the >>+<< sign gets wiped out from a selected text. And such [anticipated] issues like this are precisely why I made this proposition of mine for a new feature in QAP
  
  And aside from me being too weak of a coder: I do not want to be forced to use umpteen keyboard shortcut
  
  And most of all: I wish to be able to do quick conversions using just my mouse, when I am afar from monitor. [And yes, I already have a wireless keyboard - but it is plain tiresome to constantly have to pick it up and thus release the mouse and then go back. And by using a simple AHK script or a program like X-Mouse Button Control I will be able to access such new QAP feature by just evoking its keyboard shortcut with some mouse buttons]

  This is something that can be done with my new project Quick Clipboard Editor. This app is still in an early stage of development and there is much to do. I invite you to test it.

  See also this section of the forum dedicated to QCE:

  But if I am not mistake, features of QCE are accessible only from within that program itself? [I created a new topic about in its section of the forum: https://forum.quickaccesspopup.com/showt...p?tid=2603]

  And so it seems I must wait for both an update of Quick Clipboard Editor and ability to integrate its Change case sub-menu feature with Quick Access Popup [https://forum.quickaccesspopup.com/showt...05#pid7005]

  How can I keep checking if this first requirement has finally happened, if I do not use QCE?

  I update the post https://forum.quickaccesspopup.com/showt...p?tid=2603.
  
  Full integration with QAP is still planned (I could not tell when it will be available). But with Quick Clipboard Editor v2, "Change case" commands can already be called from QAP using QCEmessenger. You can create a submenu in QAP containing "Applications" favorites calling the various "Change case" commands you need in QCE.
  
  For example, I have this submenu in QAP:
  
  
  
  See QCEmessenger help here. When I'll find time for this, I'll do tip and trick page about this. Until then, you can ask here if you need help.
