In macOS, all labels in menu items must be capitalised. The context menus in Obsidian, like right-clicking on a note in the files view, have mixed formatting. The application menu for example looks correct. Apple seems to use Chicago or MLA to decide what to capitalise.
Some examples:
- “Move file to…” → “Move File to…”
- “Merge entire file with…” → “Merge Entire File with…”
- “Open in default app” → “Open in Default App”
Existing common macOS menu bar items like “Reveal in Finder” already follow this convention.
Steps to reproduce
Right-click on any item, open any context menu.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?
Yes.
Expected result
Menu item labels should follow Chicago Manual of Style or MLA capitalisation rules.
Actual result
They do not.
