   procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
   procedure FormMouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
   procedure FormPaint(Sender: TObject);
   procedure FormMouseUp(Sender: TOBject; Button: TMouseButton;
     Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
   procedure FormMouseDown(Sender: TOBject; Button: TMouseButton;
     Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
   procedure FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);

becomes

pascal

   procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
   procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
   procedure FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);
   procedure FormMouseDown(Sender: TOBject; Button: TMouseButton;
     Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
   procedure FormMouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
   procedure FormMouseUp(Sender: TOBject; Button: TMouseButton;
     Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
   procedure FormPaint(Sender: TObject);

Options

Case sensitive - distinguish lower and upper case
