Case Sensitive Block

Case sensitivity could be sometimes difficult, and not everybody knows how to detect case sensitivity. The reason why it is difficult is becaus a lowercase letter will always be the same as its capital version, according to the Scratch editor.

<[D] = [d]> // reports true.

However, one way to solve this is to make a case sensitive boolean:

<case sensitive [] = [] :: operators >

This is so the project can detect capital letters. If everything were case sensitive, this would break all Scratch projects, which is not good.

<case sensitive [x] = [X] :: operators > // reports false.

<case sensitive [v] = [v] :: operators > // reports true.

This boolean helps prevent that. This could be useful for encoders/decoders without having to do the workaround of costumes, since you have to make a costume for every letter in the alphabet, and then all the other complicated coding.

Support, this could come in handy for those who need a lot of letter blocks.

Maybe have it be more like the “not” block i.e.

<case sensitive <>::operators>

Support!

And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

The workaround is pretty straightforward, so I don't think a case-sensitive block is necessary.
There is also an even easier workaround which only involves two costumes.

The Blue mod of Scratch (discussion here) has lots of good ideas. This one looks like a duplicate (“Case Sensitive Equals Block”).

Here's more recent discussion (“Scratch 3 should be case sensitive”) and a different approach (“Case sensitive C block”).

Thanks for the links! It does look like this is a duplicate topic so I'll close it to keep duplicates to a minimum.

Probably this topic is the closest one and should be used to add new support.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

Support,that would be useful for maybe… i don't know… a script that detects a safe code? Anyway,i really want this block.
