Yes, the original Oberon (which the system is based on) has upper-case keywords (and some other orthodoxies). If you are looking for something more modern, go to https://github.com/rochus-keller/oberon, https://github.com/rochus-keller/luon or https://github.com/rochus-keller/micron.

Yes, like Modula-2 as well.

However, people always forget we don't program in Notepad, rather programmer editors that are able to do automatic capitalisation of keywords.

It is a non problem, like discussion of parentheses or white space in programming languages that require them.

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.

How does automatic capitalization solve the EMPHASIS problem ?

For that matter, how do syntax-aware editors solve the problem of finding significant spaces (Python) or parentheses (Lisp) unintuitive, confusing, or simply unpleasant?

A you problem.

So THE answer seems TO be "they don't".
