Change capitalization based on the typed abbreviation

PhraseExpander can automatically adapt the expanded template (or autocorrect) based on how you are typing the abbreviation.

So, you can define a template with lowercase content and adapt it automatically (setting it to uppercase, sentence case or title case), just by typing the same abbreviation with a different casing.

Let's consider this template and let's see how the output that PhraseExpander generates changes based on the typed abbreviation.

Template: for your information
Abbreviation: fyi

No case change

Type the abbreviation:

fyi

no case change

Convert to uppercase

Type the abbreviation:

FYI

Convert to uppercase

Convert to sentence case

Type the abbreviation:

Convert to sentence case

Convert to title case

Type the abbreviation

fYi

NOTE: For title casing to work, the abbreviation must have at least 3 letters and they must be typed as a lowercase, uppercase, lowercase sequence. The title case works only with phrases (it doesn't work with autocorrects).
