This was one of the things I hope to do in my non-official Gambas.

It was closer to English than a lot of Americans ever manage.  One of the 
things I liked most about VB's editor was how it would change the 
capitalization of the symbols after you leave a line, so you'd know 
immediately if you'd mistyped something.  But I'm wondering if it would tie 
the Gambas editor too closely to the Gambas interpreter.

Make it a library and I'll certainly try to jam it into my non-Gambas ;)

The first thing I do whenever I install Gambas on a fresh machine is change 
all the editor colors.... black text, white background, green comments, blue 
symbols.... and Vera Sans Mono as the font.... do that and I bet it won't 
feel like a DOS editor anymore ;)
