How can I configure auto-capitalization behavior in Flutter's text entry fields?

Question

I'm experimenting with Flutter development on Windows. I have a simple test app with an InputField. I would like the first keyboard entry to be a capital letter but can't see a way of achieving that (e.g. launching the keyboard with shift pressed) that at the moment. Any ideas?

Code (a bit simplified) is:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';  void main() {   runApp(new MaterialApp(       theme: new ThemeData.dark(),       home: new MainScreen()   )); }  class MainScreen extends StatelessWidget {   @override   Widget build(BuildContext context) {     return new Scaffold(         appBar: new AppBar(             leading: new IconButton(                 icon: new Icon(Icons.menu),                 tooltip: 'Navigation menu',                 onPressed: null,             ),             title: new Text('Test'),         ),         body: new NewTest(),     );   } }  /// Widget class NewTest extends StatefulWidget {   @override   _NewTestInputState createState() => new _NewTestInputState(); } /// State class _NewTestInputState extends State<NewTest> {   InputValue _currentInput;    void _handleInputChange(InputValue input) {     if (input != _currentInput){       setState(() {         _currentInput = input;       });     }   }    void _handleInputSubmitted(InputValue input) {     setState(() {       _currentInput = const InputValue();     });   }    @override   Widget build(BuildContext context) {     InputField _widget = new InputField(         value: _currentInput,         hintText: 'Enter text',         keyboardType: TextInputType.text,         autofocus: true,         onChanged: _handleInputChange,         onSubmitted: _handleInputSubmitted,         style: new TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0),     );     Container _container = new Container(         child: _widget,         decoration: new BoxDecoration(             border: new Border.all(                 color: Colors.green[300],                 width: 2.0,             ),         ),         padding: new EdgeInsets.all(16.0),     );     return _container;   } }

Flutter has a textCapitalization property for textfields. Set this property to TextCapitalization.sentences or any of the available values eg .characters or .words Like so:

TextField(    keyboardType: TextInputType.text,    **textCapitalization: TextCapitalization.sentences,**    style: TextStyle(       fontSize: 30.0,       color: Colors.black,       fontWeight: FontWeight.bold    ), )
