Steps to reproduce:
I suggest it be possible through a menu item (and a shortcut assignment) to change the case of a highlighted text.

In what context? Do you specifically mean when the content is editable (e.g. in form fields, or web apps that provide text entry/editing), or are you talking about any text displayed in the browser?

Surely, I mean when the content is editable.
Sorry, perhaps this is not the appropriate component bug branch?
I use SeaMonkey Composer and Mail Compose.
Please, help to refile in a more adequate branch, if so.
Thank you,

This seems more like a feature request for the SeaMonkey front-end, then; moving to SM product.
(I suspect the answer might be that it could be done as an add-on, and doesn't need to be part of the core product unless we think lots of users would want it. But that'll be for the SM community to consider.)

- Sorry, can you clarify what exactly the needinfo flag means?
- This is not a bug but an enhancement suggestion.
- If my response is not to the point, please let me know.

It means that we need more information from someone. In this case, that is you. :)

I was and am aware of that.
- If my response is not to the point, please let me know.
The question remains: What is the use case / the actual underlying problem that this enhancement would fix? When and why do you need to "change the case of a highlighted text"? Do you often receive messages in capital letters and you want to make them all small letters, or what is the situation that made you propose this enhancement suggestion? I am asking because I'd like to avoid an XY problem.
You are right.
Working with Composer it happens to past from other sources and surprisingly often to edit with other goals in mind.
For instance change to upper/lower or bold/regular or prescribe colours to change the perception and so.
When I type my own text, say, in Mail Composer, and in SM Editor too, for instance, building a small ‘e-book’, I often change my mind of how the text should look like after I've already typed it in. All that is possible as far only by retyping,— sometimes quite f long piece ot text
Also changing fist letters to upper case (say, in initials) takes several cliques and movements within the menu, especially while different alphabets are used.
Yes, I'd strongly suggest Shortcuts to that feature, by the way.
I found this feature quite useful in such editors as Notepad++ and some others like that.
While in this theme, I'd also like to mention three more suggestions.
- I frequently introduce «No-Break space» U+00A0, but it seams SM ignores it.
- Shortcuts to superscripts and subscripts for example to type smartly «2nd» with «nd» raised (Bug 1638308).
- Subscripts/superscrips to already typed sub/super-scripts (second-level raised or lowered, altogether 4 cases). Although there exists MathML, surprisingly many mathematics might be typed without it. This feature would absolutely enlarge the possibilities to great extent. Second level sub/superscript are being widely used in elementary mathematics. I encountered difficulties with some correspondents who could not (and would not like to) compile MathML, although I myself like it very much). (1638322)
