Thanks Robert for the quick reply. Would it be possible that BBEdit recognize the start of a sentence? If so, let this part of code works with the part of auto completion would, in my opinion, give the correct case automatically ( I do not really mean to type the correct case by myself when I start a sentence ... ).
Of course, this should be configurable, otherwise people who do not want to make the first letter upper case may find this feature is very annoying . On Feb 6, 8:18 pm, "Robert A.
