Case Changes (IDLWAVE User Manual)

4.9.3 Case Changes

Actions can be used to change the case of reserved words or expanded abbreviations by customizing the variables idlwave-abbrev-change-case and idlwave-reserved-word-upcase. If you want to change the case of additional words automatically, put something like the following into your .emacs file:

(add-hook 'idlwave-mode-hook
 (lambda ()
 ;; Capitalize system vars
 (idlwave-action-and-binding idlwave-sysvar '(capitalize-word 1) t)
 ;; Capitalize procedure name
 (idlwave-action-and-binding "\\<\\(pro\\|function\\)\\>[ \t]*\\<"
 '(capitalize-word 1) t)
 ;; Capitalize common block name
 (idlwave-action-and-binding "\\<common\\>[ \t]+\\<"
 '(capitalize-word 1) t)))

For more information, see the documentation string for the function idlwave-action-and-binding. For information on controlling the case of routines, keywords, classes, and methods as they are completed, see Completion.
