@ cmdrfunk & slant eyes:
Like Moskie said, please use the [ code ] tags when inserting code. Even though you've already posted, the "edit" button can be used anytime FYI.

That being said, great application slant eyes!! I've been looking for an outlet to get this idea into something materialistic. My idea first stemmed to get this in browser use. Namely Firefox. After one a many, too many, times running into a slew of words suddenly becoming accidentally capitalized by way of my blunders on the keyboard. I then thought to myself can we get this inserted into the browser as a default feature? Maybe using some kind of inconspicuous key combo like highlighting the accidental CAP string then pressing and holding shift? Or, maybe an extension utilizing the code? Including artifical intelligence, where you could have it detect punctuation and alter the CAPS to leave/re-CAP certain lettters. Such as the first letter of any sentence while lower-casing the rest of the accidental CAPS, etc. Any way my brainstorms went something like that and now a couple months later you made this thread.

So my question to you is, how does this code work in terms of functionality? Can it be reworked as just a piece of code like Javascript that executes when initiated like a bookmarklet? I realize it's written in C++ and that indicates an application but I've seen C++ used outside of that common misconceived notion. Also, does it run in the background / Is it a background task?

Finally, if I wanted to use this for myself, how would I? As an end-user. Do you have it available for download anywhere or was this more of a private project? I'd be interested in trying it out and trying to get it incorporated into FF [if not possible, then as an potential extension].
