[Oberon] Easier typing of capital letter keywords in Oberon

So, in my tinkering with both Native Oberon and Project Oberon 2013, I have to say I really like Oberon (the language), but as a newbie, the environment is tricky.
The most obvious thing for me is that Oberon doesn't seem to recognize my caps lock key.  I know it sounds trivial, but it's leading to a huge ergonomic issue for me.
typing PROCEDURE or INTEGER (and the other keywords) while holding down the shift key is extremely uncomfortable. Typing <caps-lock>integer<caps-lock) would be an improvement (all lower case typing), but still has extra keystrokes.
Really, I'd like to type all of the capitalized keywords in lower case, and then apply a filter to my document to automatically capitalize, and run such a trigger when I Edit.Store a file.  Does such a thing exist?
Do other folks run into this problem? What are recommended solutions?
