I'd go with the more common operation -- go all lowercase first. Besides, you're already holding down the Ctrl key and you want uppercase, you just tap 'U' again.
Is it really a problem to have two key bindings for that? AFAIK I always seen two bindings resp. two actions for lowering or uppering the case in other apps.
No. The only problem is that using the Shift key to do the opposite of the un-Shifted command feels backwards, and IMO is more difficult for users to remember. Whenever I need to use Shift to do an opposite operation, my brain has to stop short and go, "oh, right. yes, I know Shift usually enhances the command in some way, but for this special case it makes it do the opposite".
Well there is Shift-F3 for search backwards too. Personally I find it easier to remember with shift for things like that, and it frees up more keys for other keybindings. But for indenting maybe ctrl-0 and ctrl-9 are better. I think that's because it's easier to associate with left and right.
Tab and Shift+Tab is easier to do, IMHO, especially for those of us with localized keyboards, since numbers are not reachable without Shift.
