Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

When entering new payees, I have to capitalize each word in order to match the business name (e.g. most business capitalize the first letter of every word. "Ben's Bargain Hut" instead of "Ben's bargain hut".)

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

The HTML autocapitalize="words" can do this for us, making entering payees on mobile devices faster.

Teaching and learning

This shouldn't be hard to find for any user as it's part of the core workflow of the application. However, users who are used to the current behavior might accidentally tap the shift key on their mobile keyboards when not necessary a few times after this is introduced due to muscle memory.
