I like to use uppercase keywords in VB and PowerBasic. Are there flags or options that I can set in .coder files to force keywords to be automatically uppercased?

Thanks,

Note... Autocompletion is not what I'm looking for.

Autocompletion is good if you are looking for the correct spelling of the keyword that you are trying to enter... and if you select the correct keyword, it does insert it as uppercase.

But Autocompletion is actually very distracting if you know what you are typing.

Being forced to hit [tab] or [enter] on every keyword, just to get the keyword to uppercase, is not a solution for me.

That's why I am wondering if there is an option somewhere in the .coder properties that will just automatically uppercase the keywords as I type them in?

I've entered all of the keywords in uppercase in the .coder file - and although they get the correct color formatting, they do not display in uppercase like they are in the .coder file.

Thanks!

Have you tried using this Coder plugin options?

I just made sure again.
I tried each of those three settings, in all (possible) combinations:

Code: Select all

Case    : Y Y Y N N
Save    : N Y Y Y Y
Inherit : N N Y N Y

I exited after each setting and then relaunched AkelPad.

It still does not uppercase any of my keywords.

Oops! That combination is the way the settings were when I started. I forgot to mark it down as I was testing. Good catch!

THANKS, Instructor!

That's a LOT easier....

I've been using the Shift key.
