Is replaced with: Set x = 10

Increase Line Indent Increases indent for selected lines.
Decrease Line Indent Decreases indent for selected lines.
Make Uppercase Uppercases selected text.
Make Lowercase Lowercases selected text.
Comment Line Turns a selected line into a comment by adding comment delimiters to the beginning of the line. The selection must start at the beginning of the line, including any leading whitespace, and include the final character of the line.
Uncomment Line Turns a selected comment into a regular line by removing comment delimiters from the beginning of the line.
Comment Block Turns a selected block of text into a commented block by adding comment delimiters to the beginning and end of the block. The selection must extend from the first character of the block to the last, and cannot include any empty lines outside of the block. If the selection is inside a method or routine, it must include any leading whitespace, and delimiters are added only to the beginning of the lines, as for Comment Line.
Uncomment Block Turns a selected commented block of text into a regular block by removing comment delimiters. If the delimiters enclose the block, the selection must extend from the first delimiter character at the beginning of the block to the last delimiter character at the end. If delimiters are at the beginning of the lines, acts like a multi-line Uncomment Line.
Tabify Selected Lines Adds a tab to the beginning of each of a set of selected lines.
Untabify Selected Lined Removes a tab from the beginning of each of a set of selected lines.
