Fixing case when coding

[RedDeupree]

Would it be possible for LiveCode to have an option that would fix the case of keywords and local or global variables as you type?
I have used Microsoft IDEs that do this for a long time and it is nice to be able to quickly see when a variable is misspelled after it stays all lower case after you type it.

I don't think this is necessary as LIveCode doesn't care
about whether you use capitals or lower case letters.

I know LiveCode doesnt care, but I do.
I love how LC colorizes stuff, that's great. I am just used to Microsoft's habit of using case conventions and such and making them easy to keep for the same purpose.
Things like CamelCase are very popular in Microsoft-land to look at because they are easier to read (some opinions, anyway) than all lower case, but hard to type, so Microsoft has autocomplete and case fixing built into its IDEs. Microsoft doesn't care either, but it will allow you to rename and re-case existing variables and is known to do it by itself. I find this very useful to quickly see misspelled variables, a nasty error to find as its side effects can be deep and random and frequently do not result in runtime errors.

This of course would be an option..

An alternative option might be to be able to colorize global and local variables like you do with keywords, but I still like case stuff as I don't have to read the word, I just sort of see the shape, and camel case is a bit more shapely to my Microsoft trained eyes.

You are right sir. LiveCode should correct any casing. And yes I do miss autocomplete. That is a mandatory feature in a modern ide imho. Make it so lc team!

I think Microsoft has done this correctly and the casing/autocomplete stuff is habit forming..
An option for this would be good..
