Why has the 'to lowercase' shortcut been removed from VS2015?

In previous versions of Visual Studio, you could make all selected text lowercase with CTRL+U, and all uppercase using CTRL+SHIFT+U.

The uppercase shortcut remains in the 2015 version of VS, the lowercase shortcut, however, has been removed.

Does anybody have any info regarding this?

I thought it may have been because it conflicted with a shortcut for newly introduced functionality which had to take priority, but the only CTRL+U shortcut relies on a previous combination of keys too.

I had the same issue because I have resharper installed which overwrites VS shortcut Ctrl+U

  1. Instead of using the shortcut keys you can do it though menu (Edit -> Advanced -> Make Uppercase; Edit -> Advanced -> Make Lowercase) as you can see from the screenshot below that make upper has a shortcut while make lower doesn't! enter image description here

  2. to fix this issue you can go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard -> Type "makelowercase" in show commands containing: to filter commands -> Edit.MakeLowercase -> Press shortcut keys -> Ctrl+U. did you notice the lowest most filed "Shortcut currently used by:" that's how I knew that resharper is what overwriting this vs shortcut. enter image description here
