Description
Expected
When creating new list items using markdown syntax, the new item should cue the keyboard to use lower case.
Observed
When I hit the carriage return on my on-screen iOS Gboard at the end of a Markdown list item, the new line is in Proper Case. This means that each new word I type/swipe will be capitalized.
Reproduced
- Open Simplenote, logged into an account (using Gboard?, I’m not sure it matters)
- Create a new note
- Type a title, and two carriage returns
- Begin a markdown list by typing a hypen followed by a space and a couple words
- Insert a carriage return and type a few words. This line will be in Proper Case.
