Went to CyberChef to look for Caesar cipher encode/decode. Walked away sadly.

Then walked here with newfound hope and vision for the future.

It encompasses other rotations as well. Such as only rotating 1 character.

Okay, thanks. Seems like it's inappropriately named then.

At least we'll avoid this situation now.

If you search for "caesar" in the operation search box, you'll see a few operations that might solve the problem for you. ROT13 is one (and if you hover over and read the description you'll see that the shift amount can be configured).

Another is the Substitute operation, which allows you to specify a full alphabet of substitutions. This means you aren't restricted to keeping the alphabet in order.

Reopening since this is not the same as a Caesar Box Cipher
