Does the editor in this environment do automatic capitalisation?

I have to say that when I used Modula-2, editors were very simple and banging away on the shift key or caps lock was a real irritation.

Not directly if I remember correctly, but there are OS formatting tools.

Windows IDE tooling for Modula-2, or using something like XEmacs/Emacs or Brief.

I would call that an extra compiler pass to fix the SHOUTING syntax.

You would have some fun during the days computers only displayed CAPITALISED FONTS!
AT least that WOULD avoid THE jarring transitions AND misplaced emphasis.
