Biggest opportunity: Add “lowercase”, “tinymce button” and “uppercase” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #9 and #10 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 44.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

I don’t know if this is browser dependent but does not work on Mac in Blocks viewing with Chrome. Keystrokes as described also do not work on Mac. (I’m sure developer has a friend with a Mac to check?) Only converts all caps to all lower case and then you cannot change initial cap. Happy to send a screen recording to developer if you’d like.

Title case is not AP style title case. It caps every first letter in sentence.
