1714882 - Context-menu option to change capitalization (all-caps to no caps, etc)

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, enhancement)

Description

[MarjaE]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Type.

2. Check screen, find that I slipped and hit the caps lock key and the last few lines are all in caps.

Actual results:

3. There's no context-menu option to switch capitalization, so I have to retype everything, check again, sometimes retype everything again...

Expected results:

4. It'd be very helpful to have a context-menu option to change capitalization.

"Why don't you learn to touch type?"

I have coordination problems and have a lot of trouble using 2 hands or 3+ fingers at once. So I have to go back and forth with 1 hand. If I don't watch the keyboard, it's easy to end up 1 key off in any direction. If I do, it's still easy to slip and hit the neighboring key, such as caps lock.

Most of the time, I can check the screen, and manually correct mis-spellings, but it is unduly hard to correct capitalization due to caps lock.

Safari has a similar feature, Chrome does not, migraine warning for non-scrolling sidebar at the link:

Wordservice provides a similar feature across Mac Apps, but it's hidden in a hard-to-read menu with tiny text.

Thanks MarjaE for opening this enhancement, i will set it as new in order for the devs to check it out.
Firefox , nightly 91 , beta 90.0b4 , and release 89.0 don´t have a toolbar option for changing capitalization.

In my case, disabling Caps Lock isn't an option, because some input settings use Caps Lock to switch between different alphabets.
