What would be simplest way to change the case of a rectangle?
None of the short-cuts mentioned in the manual talk about this. Do I have to add a custom binding to do that? And while we are at it, how do I search only within a rectangle?

It’s easy with using
cua-mode‘s rectangle selection support:You can then select rectangles by pressing C-RET and moving the cursor. To upcase that region, just use the usual
upcase-regioncommand, bound to M-U by default.
