Description

Environment

  • TeXstudio: 3.1.12

Expected behavior

I want to apply "to Titlecase" operation to cyrillic text, for example "мой текст" and expect to obtain "Мой Текст".

Also it will be more convenient to apply case operations to a word of current cursor place, not selection text only.

Actual behavior

But this operation is workable with latin text only.

The case operations (uppercase, lowercase and titlecase) can be applied only to selection text.

How to reproduce

It is necessary to make these operations as them are made in MS Word. This way is the most convenient.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the implementation of titlecase operation in TeXstudio source code, likely using Qt's QString::toTitleCase() which may only handle Latin characters. Look for Unicode support or custom implementation using QChar or ICU. Also consider extending operation to word under cursor.
