Does The Lazarus editor can Auto-Capitalize keywords ?
I apreciate your answers because I really like this feature (Like the
Purebasic editor).

Best regards

Welcome to Lazarus forum,
Go to main menu: Tools -> Options ... -> (select on the left)
Codetools -> Words -> (select on the right) Keyword policy: Uppercase

That only covers code, that gets inserted automatically, e.g. on class
completion.

You can define "code templates" (Menu Options)

define a template, that matches "begin", and put "Begin" into the
expanded text. Trigger on "word completion"

It may be quicker to locate the file lazarus.dci in your config path
(View / Ide Internals / About IDE), and edit it (while lazarus is NOT
running)
add something like (for each keyword)

[begin | make me upper]
$(AttributesStart)
AutoOnLineBreak=true
AutoOnSpace=true
AutoOnWordEnd=true
$(AttributesEnd)
Begin


no empty lines before, nor after
first begin after [, is the keyword to look for.
Last Begin is the final spelling

Or, if you do not need it while typing, you can probably get Jedi Code
Formatter (JCF) to do it. Open "Install packages" it is in the list
(search for JCF)
