CTRL+Tab will add another tab for just this once. Perhaps you want to
always indent the case statement twice.
You could (1) change the default indent to be more spaces. Look at
IDLWAVE->Idlwave Code Formatting->Ildwave Block Indent
or (2) change the CASE template (?)

As far as upcase/downcase: look at IDLWAVE->Idlwave Completion
