You can use "-sensitive" with a noun to form a compound adjective! It usually means that something is sensitive to that thing. Such as, here, the program or text is sensitive to which letter case is used. So you can use it when you want to describe something as sensitive to something else. Keep in mind that it depends on the context. Some nouns are more common to use with it! Other times it could be better to say, "[something/someone] is sensitive to [something]." Ex: I'm sensitive to criticism. Ex: The photographs are light-sensitive. Ex: The microphone is sound-sensitive. So don't shout into it. Ex: My dog is sensitive to sound. Ex: The device is touch-sensitive. So you can control it with your hands.
