Description Zeki Bildirici 2015-01-21 16:04:27 UTC
Hi,

Currently LibreOffice auto-capitalize works on:

1- First line of the document
2- First word after a sentence (finished with proper punctuation i.e. (.) (?) (!)

However, it should be better if it behaves to capitalize every new line after pressing ENTER. 

The reason is, as you know, in some cases you need to start with a capital letter, such as:

-- Greetings: 

Dear John,

We are waiting for you.... (not auto - capitalized)

-- Poems, most of the lines end with (,) and (;) also no punct. at all:

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought 
Than to love and be loved by me. 
(not auto - capitalized, if i was writing poems on LO Writer i will be realy annoyed to capitalize every line, muse will fly through shift+f3 )

Note: i think https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87911 tried to said the same.

Best regards,
Zeki

Thanks Zeki for filing.

Known behaviour since the old days..
You did set component to Writer, but I expect that other modules have the same behaviour.

I wonder what ideas others have for this request.. > UXAdvise

Cheers,
Cor
