You can create keyboard shortcuts for menu items:


Create keyboard shortcuts for apps on Mac - Apple Support


The menu item in this instance would be Edit>Transformations>Capitalize.

Capitalize is such a generic description. The following apply in Pages v14.4 on Sequoia v15.6.1, or where mentioned, the free WordService Services suite:

  • All Caps
  • Small Caps
  • Title Case: Capitalize every major word and omit conjunctions
  • Start Case: Capitalize every major word including conjunctions
    • Edit menu > Transformations > Capitalize
    • WordService:Initial Caps of Words
  • WordService: Initial Caps of Sentences: Capitalizes the first character of the sentence.

This works. Thank you. I did find the "Initial Caps Of Words" function, however I did not see "Title Case: Capitalize every major word and omit conjunctions" as you have written above That would be even better. Where did you find it?

Format menu > Font > Capitalization > Title Case. I was adding result descriptions, and only that which precedes the colon is a menu item, with the exception of WordService. I could have been more clear.
