R rgately Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 7, 2011 #1 It would be nice if the code editor would automatically capitalize characters used in user created variables so that the shift key wouldn't have to be used so much. For example: If I create a variable called "SetLayout" all I would need to do is type "setlayout" and when followed by a space it would replace itself with "SetLayout". Thanks for a great product and for listening.

R rgately Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 8, 2011 #3 It would know to capitalize the L because the variable has been declared using DIM. It's what I am familiar with in Visual Studio.

Click to expand... Would be really interesting autocomple variables while we are writing (like when we are write Imageview1. and all methods are shown).

R rgately Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 8, 2011 #7 Thanks for the tip about using Ctrl+Space. I will try to remember to use it.

I love this about VB. As an OCD, it keeps code clean which I love. Plus it solves the problem of B4A not notifying you when you make a typo in a variable name sometimes. It already has this for built in variables, just not ours.

R rgately Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 13, 2011 #9 The Ctrl + Space key combination behaves exactly as I imagined auto-capitalization would behave. I noticed that some of the words in the list already do auto capitalize. It would be great if everything in this list would auto capitalize as you type. Last edited: Nov 14, 2011
