Other Ways To Changing Capitalization
There are other ways to change the text capitalization across applications, using shortcuts is one of them, but equally exciting is the ability to change capitalization with a context menu, where you can use ctrl+{right mouse click} to pull down a drop down that will give you a list of options exactly like a shortcut for all caps, or a lowercase shortcut would, just choose one of the options from the list.
