Linux Mint 20.1

Changing case is a common enough occurence but, IMV, it could be improved a little. First you have to select the text, then right-click, then select the options. The keyboard shortcut for "Change case" is the same as that to select "Cut", so you need to press twice to engage. IMV, it would be better to have unique letter shortcuts in the context menu if possible.

Suggestion: Have a menu option for "Change case" and allow this to be accessed purely by keyboard letter shortcuts.

The other thing is that Calibre has an option "Capitalise". Normally this means "make the first letter in every selected word a capital letter", but Calibre interprets this mistakenly as "make the first letter of the selection a capital. In fact, this should called "Sentence case".

Suggestion: Change the wording of the existing "Capitalize" to "Sentence" and add a true "Capitalize" option for those who want a capital leter at the start of every word.
