Basically I agree with the selection on/off consideration. But how about to
select the whole sentence first when nothing has been selected ("text cursor
focus")? And to apply the function as it works today but always to the
selection. It has the benefit of being more transparent to the user and
simplifies workflow and code.

>  "Mary Jones met joe Smith"

How the transliteration works is another question to me. I would keep the
status quo which means:

(without selection)
TITLE_CASE: Mary Jones Met Joe Smith
SENTENCE_CASE: Mary jones met joe smith
LOWERCASE_UPPERCASE: MARY JONES MET JOE SMITH
UPPERCASE_LOWERCASE: mary jones met joe smith

("Mary Jones met [joe] Smith" - "joe" is selected)
TITLE_CASE: JOE
SENTENCE_CASE: joe
LOWERCASE_UPPERCASE: Joe
UPPERCASE_LOWERCASE: joe

("Mary Jones met [joe Smith]" - "joe Smith" is selected)
TITLE_CASE: Joe Smith
SENTENCE_CASE: Joe smith
LOWERCASE_UPPERCASE: JOE SMITH
UPPERCASE_LOWERCASE: joe smith

Any if-then condition complicates the procedure and makes it hard for users to
predict the result.
