Maintain Variable Case

[Douglas McDonald]

This ones way down the list but its nice to have an makes the code more readable and easier to write for lazy people like me.

It would be nice if once a variable is defined its case is maintained throughout the rest of the code. Many compilers do this. If FF3 does I can't find where to turn it on.

Example:

Local MyVar as long

next time I use myvar it maintains the case to MyVar

Its just a nice to have item and Ive gotten used to it in other editors

Yes, that would be a nice feature. I had suggested it also a while ago.

The biggest benefit I see in it is that you have instant control if the variable name is spelled properly. You won't have to wait until the compiler alerts you of it.

That was a very nice feature of VB.  The only problem with VB was it used the last instance you changed to change all the other instances (as I recall) whereas I would prefer it to go by the declaration of the matching variable name.

[Rolf Brandt]

VB changed it only to the last instance if you did not declare the variable. If you used Option Explicit you had to declare the variable, and then it was always changed to the spelling you used in the declaration.

[Peter House]

I used VB since version 1 and that sounds about right to me.  I always used Option Explicit after it appeared (in v3 ).
