Yes. Thank you. Sadly, it generates unaligned code, but this is better
than manually enumerating all the values.

I left an alignment example below. It looks like the "code insertion"
feature eats tabs - so i left comments describing the alignment.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i procedure
test_code_completion_for_case_statements;type        enumerated_type =
(a, b, c, d, e, f, g);var        enum:enumerated_type;begin       
case enum of {<- manually aligned case statement}                a: ;
 {<- aligned with 2 tabs}                b: ;   {<- aligned with 2
tabs}                c: ;   {<- aligned with 2 tabs}                d:
;   {<- aligned with 2 tabs}                e: ;   {<- aligned with 2
tabs}                f: ;   {<- aligned with 2 tabs}                g:
;   {<- aligned with 2 tabs}        end;      {<- aligned with 1
tab}         case enum of {<- auto completed case statement}        a:
;   {<- aligned with 1 space + 1 tab}         b: ;  {<- aligned with 1
tab + 1 space}         c: ;  {<- aligned with 1 tab + 1 space}       
 d: ;  {<- aligned with 1 tab + 1 space}         e: ;  {<- aligned
with 1 tab + 1 space}         f: ;  {<- aligned with 1 tab + 1 space} 
       g: ;  {<- aligned with 1 tab + 1 space} end;     {<- keyword
"end" aligned with 1 space}end;
Do you know how to modify built-in macros? I could try to fix this
myself.

Lazarus 1.8.2, Windows, x64.
Auto completed case statement:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i procedure
Test;type  TEnum = (a, b, c, d, e, f, g);var  Enum: TEnum;begin  Enum
:= a;  case Enum of    a: ;    b: ;    c: ;    d: ;    e: ;    f: ;  
g: ;  end;end;All correct.

Lazarus 1.8.2. Windows 8.1 x64. All incorrect. I use tabs instead of
spaces.
