VS Code does have a “sentence case” option, but not by default.

Built-in options (default)

VS Code only includes:

  • Uppercase
  • Lowercase
  • Title Case

You can access them via:

  • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • macOS: Cmd + Shift + P → type “Transform to…”

You won’t see Sentence Case there.

How to get Sentence Case in VS Code

Install “Change Case” extension.

Steps:

  1. Open Extensions (Ctrl + Shift + X)
  2. Search for Change Case
  3. Install it
  4. Select your text
  5. Press Ctrl + Shift + P
  6. Choose Change Case → Sentence case

This converts text like:

this is a test. this is another test.

This is a test. This is another test.

ption 2: Keyboard shortcut (after extension)

Once installed, you can bind a shortcut:

  • Go to Keyboard Shortcuts
  • Search for sentence case
  • Assign your own key combo

If you want a quick workaround (no extension)

You can:

  • Convert to lowercase
  • Manually capitalize the first letter

…but this won’t handle multiple sentences correctly.
