Help me to adress the correct way of modifying my desktop behaviour.

I don't know you, but I'm tired of the same decades old text input methods.
What I wanna do:

1. Caps lock timer.
2. Caps lock word sensitive
3. Sticky shift
4. Pattern based autocaps for redacting
5. In place text selection editing
6. Popup string variable expansion
bonus 7. Control + drag selecting text without pressing control
bonus 8. on screen text remarking
bonus 9. Secondary mouse with it's own cursor and separate methods.


1 it's done already and it's beauty, my caps turn off automatically after 10s and if I want em forever on I press shift + caps instead.
2 Intended for writting a SINGLE uppercase word after control+caps. Like 1 but smarter. I'm struggling with keyboard access to wait for a :space: after control+caps using python. There must be a smarter way however.
3 just that. some key that acts like a combinable shift. May be I should use some unused combinable character and remap it ?
4 Just the way smartphones format text, autoplacing the uppercase at line start. here we have a clear pattern: '. ', or '.\n', again I need the script to have console access.
5. Done with python, popup with functions to turn selection upper, lower, or chinnesse translated, done with python and bash. Would be great to associate it to a secondary mouse click!
6. Easy as the last one. a popup window with a text input that searches a match from inside a list of pre entered variables and that writes the associated text to the main edition.
7. Yeah that could be great. Persistent multiselection of text, use a scape key instead of click for deactivating.
8. I'd like that, no idea how to implement it.
9. needed.

So what insights can you give me?
