Research direction

Start by reading the keyboard’s existing auto-capitalization and dictionary or text-expander settings to find where capitalization rules are handled. The issue proposes user-defined patterns, possibly with regex, but does not name files or tests. Done means users can configure patterns such as after “(” and choose whether the next letter is capitalized.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Currently, auto-capitalization only work on certain scenerios, all is determined by the app. I'll be really useful if user can make a pattern for their auto-capitalization settings. For example, some user may want their keyboard to auto-capitalized after "(", "(Abc). Some user may not.

The way it works is just like dictionary, or text expander. User can enter a pattern (maybe it can support regex) in which the next letter will be capitalized.

For example (the • character is not included):
• “• ( “Abc)
•.” • (.” Abc)
•{• ({Abc)
