Auto-capital sentences in .txt

How to make each sentence start with a capital letter as I type? (like in libre-office)

Preferably only in .txt files.

Hello, @carsten88 and All,

Surely, some guru guys on this forum, versed in Python, could create a script for this purpose ! Unfortunately, I’m not part of them -:(

However, here is a regex search/replacement that you could run, once your text is completed :

SEARCH ([.?!])\x20*(\w)
REPLACE \1\x20\U\2

Notes : This regex verifies and changes any text file as expected :

It rewrites, first, the last character of each sentence
Then, it normalizes any amount of space chars, even none, to one space only
And, finally, it rewrites the first letter of the next sentence in uppercase
If this letter is already written as uppercase, nothing is modified !

Best Regards,
