Well, just because you don't like it doesn't mean vim shouldn't support it. But ok, one more score for Emacs :). > I don't understand what it is useful for. I can type "with system.address_to_access_conversions" and the editor automagically converts that to "with System.Address_To_Access_Conversions". So I never have to hit the shift key (helps avoid Carpal-Tunnel). In addition, if I'm unsure of the proper capitalization of a previously typed word, I can hit M-w and the word is re-capitalized. It helps meet style guidelines. I would never enforce the capitalization style if the editor did not support it (however, I will tell people that's a reason to switch to Emacs). There is a file of exceptions to the normal capitalization rule, so things like Ada.Text_IO are done correctly (the _IO violates the normal rule). That's the file that should be specified in the .adp file. -- -- Stephe
