Autohotkey Script for Capitalization of Selected Text

Need an Autohotkey script that will work for Title Case capitalization, and reverse of selected text.

Found this, but can't seem to get it to work.

Nor any way for it to EXCLUDE a set of words like "the", to", "and", "from", "for".

I quickly solved the retyping problem:

+^k:: ; SHIFT+CTRL+K converts text to capitalized
Clipboard := ""
SendInput, ^c ;copies selected text
ClipWait
StringUpper Clipboard, Clipboard, T ; Title mode conversion
SendInput %Clipboard%
Return
This Hotkey mostly fixes the all-caps text by converting every word to initial caps. However, I did need to revert some prepositions and connectors to lowercase as appropriate (e.g. And ⇒ and, For ⇒ for, To ⇒ to, etc)

What do you think is happening?

Many thanks!!

Hi OT,
You're welcome...and thanks back at you for writing the Testimonial...much appreciated! I'm very glad to hear that it's working now for you.

Regarding the ability to exclude words from the capitalization, I decided that is worthy of an enhanced AutoHotkey script and an EE article on it. Here's the link:

Please let me know how that works for you. Regards, Joe
