Placemark labels

Hi.
I make a placemark and assign a name to it. The keyboard pops up and the text start in lower case. Is this a programmed action? If yes, why is it so? The new name logically would start with a capital letter.
I first thought my keyboard was set up that way. But no. In some apps the text starts capitalized, in some apps it starts small, in some apps every word starts capitalized at all. So it''s not the keyboard?

Best regards.
Alexander.

Hi Alex,
Yes absolutely I'll see if I can change this and set the first letter capital by default.

Thank you.

But this is my personal wish. I do not know what other users think about it. Perhaps someone is satisfied with the way it is done now, and will say that there is no need to change anything, because the current way of inputting names is quite workable.

I have another small request. Is it possible to make it so that when a new waypoint is created, the keyboard will also pop up automatically along with the name box opening? At the moment the name field needs to be selected, and then the keyboard will appear. But the keyboard is required in any case, because I create a new waypoint, and will definitely assign a name to it?

If this option doesn't seem to be of much interest to you, can you at least make a user settings item for this action?

Well, this only concerns new waypoint creating. While editing an existing waypoint, the priorities are different, and it is not always necessary to rename the waypoint.

Hi again,
The keyboard should be displayed automatically when you create a placemark of type "Text", because text here is necessary.
Since for waypoint you can create one without name, I thought the keyboard would not be always needed.
After more thinking I'll actually display the keyboard for all kinds of placemarks, and add an user setting to disable this.

Hi, François.
Would it make sense to do the same with Track → Edit details?
The keyboard pops up (with lowercase letter) if the track already has a name. In case the track has no name, the keyboard does not pop up.

Yes I'll update.
When editing an item, the keyboard is not displayed.
I agreed with you:
