How can we improve SwiftKey?

Change word capitalization on long-shift

When a word is underlined, it would be nice if you could change it to ALL CAPS Titlecase or lowercase by long-pressing the shift key. I find myself often wanting to do this when either a word has been entered in the lexicon with a capital first letter (because I happened to type it first in a sentence the first time I used it) and also after ..., where I don't really want to start a new sentence "It was ... great"

        Swype had this for a long time and it's great, very handy!

        Right now it is possible to switch a word to Titlecase or ALLCAPS. Put the cursor to the end of the word, press shift once and the prediction will be Titlecase, press shift once more and it will be ALLCAPS.

        However, I would also like to be able to switch to lower case. Eg put the cursor to the end of a Titlecase word, press shift once for ALLCAPS, press shift once more for lower case.

        Cheers.

        I agree, or at least the shift button should toggle between first letter Capital, whole word CAPITAL (possible today) AND whole word lower case. It's really annoying having to erase a capital letter and retype it to get a lower case.
