You can do this with a macro. I think you need to do this with a macro, in fact, because I can't see where this feature can be found in the Tools > Customise... options. If you haven't recorded a macro with LibO before, you might need some help to find out how, and that link should point in the right direction.

Meanwhile, I tried this myself, and here's what I came up with: first, recorded the macro; then, assigned it to the toolbar. If you want to see if my macro does the job for you, try this (it should only take about five minutes):

1. Set up macro

1. Click on Tools > Macros > Organise macros > LibreOffice Basic... (a new window opens).
2. In the left-hand box, you should see "[+] My Macros". Open that up by clicking on the "plus" sign to get "[+] Standard", open it and see "Module 1", now click on it. You should now see "Main" listed in the right-hand box, "Existing macros in: Module 1".
3. Click on "Main" in the right-hand box, and now the "Edit" button to the right of it. A new window opens, and in the main text area, you should see "Sub Main" followed a blank line later by "End Sub". Good.
4. Now we need to get the LO Basic code -- the macro itself -- to paste in below that "End Sub" line. I have saved this as a "gist" on Gitub, but go to the raw version, hit CTRL-A to select all, then CTRL-C to copy to clipboard.
5. Return to the LibreOffice Macro editor, position your cursor under the "End Sub" line, then hit CTRL-V to paste it in. Press CTRL-S to save it.
6. Close the Macro editor.

Now when you go to Tools > Macros > Organise macros > LibreOffice Basic... (and My Macros > Standard > Module 1) again, you will see SmallCapsStart and SmallCapsStop listed below Main (along with any other macros you might already have made). Good. It worked!

2. Assign to Toolbar

1. Go to Tools > Customise..., then choose the "Toolbars" tab in the new dialog that opens.
2. Choose which toolbar you want these to appear in: to me, it makes most sense to include it with the "Formatting" options, so find that one on the Toolbar drop-down.
3. Click the "Add..." button on the right, go to the bottom of the list on the left, "LibreOffice Macros", and click it so that ...
