Auto capitalize on a new line?
Hi, if I have auto-capitalization turned on, and I type a new line (ie press the Enter/Return key), then the first letter on a new line is not capitalized.
I do see in Settings that it says to press shift on a new sentence.
I am just wondering why auto-capitalization is not enabled for new lines?
I agree. No amount of white space (spaces/separators) should reset auto-capitalization.
(OP, it says to [auto-]press shift at the beginning of a new sentence—which is what we're talking about, new lines or not.)
@Spike-from-NH Thanks for pointing that out - I edited my original post to be more accurate.
I am still wondering why auto-capitalization is not enabled for new lines? Is there a way to do this?
There is currently no way to adjust the definition of auto-capitalization. I believe we don't need user options but instead for the implementation to be made more useful, based on reactions such as yours.
@Julow If I am not misunderstanding anything, please consider auto-capitalization for a new line. Thanks
In is_trigger_character(), line 155 seems to define space as the only trigger character. It should also include Enter and perhaps others. This is not a change I can make by imitation.
There is an additional oddity: Typing a second trigger character disables autocap, typing a third one re-enables it, and so on. We who learned on a typewriter to type two spaces at the end of a sentence are screwed.
It does work, just not properly.
- a new line does not detect as a new line
- type any letter, then delete it, and it will recognize as a new line
fix: not sure. Seems like it should be possible to debug

- autocapital enables the shift button
- the shift button interferes with
ctrl + a/c/xetc
fix: pressing Ctrl should disable autoshift
