If you have enough guts to keep Castalia enabled and have Delphi Berlin or higher, then you can use this shortcut:
[WayBack] Tip: Use Ctrl+W to select content in the IDE code editor. Place your cursor some random piece of code, preferably deep in code that have nested block… – Lars Fosdal – Google+

An interesting question at [WayBack] Previously i have not been big on IDE plugins.So i’m blatantly asking for pointers on the following, i.e. is there already such beasts? Or maybe i’m i… – Dany Marmur – Google+:
… asking for pointers on the following…
Crtl+C – create implementations in the same order as the interface section?
Ctrl+C – adjust the signature of the method the cursor is on interface if implementation and vice versa.I realise they can both be very tricky to implement. Second function might not be able to handle overloads.
From that thread, a few things you might want to try:

Stefan Glienke Says:
May 3rd, 2016 at 1:33 amFWIW DelphiAST is the most up to date parser for Delphi (at least that is open source) because Roman Yankovsky is fixing bugs in a timely manner and is using it for his own plugin (FixInsight) that needs to parse all kinds of source code. It is also derived from the Castalia parser but many fixes and changes have been applied since.
In addition, TestInsight (by Stefan Glienke) also uses DelphiAST and Stefan is quite well at bugging people fixing bugs in open source projects.
DelphiAST works from Delphi XE and up (parts might work in Delphi 2010 and 2009), so ancient Delphi is out.

Delphi Clipboard History
[WayBack] Castalia had a Clipboard History for Delphi since a long time and since the acquisition of it around Delphi XE8, that was [Archive.is] integrated into the IDE for everyone to use as the [WayBack] “Delphi Clipboard History”
Some people object to the history viewer, for instance:
Even though used by a lot of password managers to transfer saved passwords to applications requiring credentials, the clipboard isn’t really a secure place as it is a shared resource that any application can monitor: [WayBack] Is a password in the clipboard vulnerable to attacks? – Information Security Stack Exchange.
It’s just that often the clipboard is about the only way to communicate date between two applications.
The real reason to get rid of the clipboard history is that in many Delphi versions it causes trouble with RichEdit controls: [Archive.is] Castalia’s Clipboard history + TRichEdit = IDE deadlock | Andy’s Blog and Tools after Eugene Kotlyarov posted a [WayBack] bug issue on G+.
I’m still not sure why Castalia and Delphi include a Clipboard History and even show it by default as:
If you would want to build such a tool (that can hide itself when not needed), then use the free repository at chrisrolliston/CCR.Clipboard: Extended TClipboard implementation for Delphi (FMX and VCL) [Archive.is] Ditto download | SourceForge.net
At G+, Attila Kovacs published a non-intended version of the below version: [WayBack]

There is a little trick to disable “Known IDE Packages”: you can stop Delphi from loading one by either making “Value data” of the registry blank, or prepending it with an underscore:
packages that might have been disabled, by checking any string entries where the data has been pre-pended with an underscore OR is blank
[WayBack] Access violation at address 00000000 read of address 00000000, when starting the IDE or opening a project after installing the updates
I’ve pre-pended underscores to some packages in the registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland|Codegear|Embarcadero\BDS|Delphi\#.0\Known IDE Packages] and intend to keep the list below updated over time.
Note that you have to prepend the description with an underscore: it is not sufficient to add these to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland|Codegear|Embarcadero\BDS\#.0\Disabled Packages].Empirically, the
Disabled Packagesseem to work only for packages starting withdclin their filename.

Marketing blast of the past via David Millington – Google+.
I got most of the Delphi versions from D2-D6 on PC Plus magazine cover CDs, an English magazine also published in Australia. I wouldn’t be here now if I hadn’t had access to those free copies of Delphi when I was a kid.
and this one:
It came with a promotional copy of Borland Delphi… and unlike other “promotional” software often distributed on the cover disks of popular computer publications at that time, this one had absolutely no restrictions and was fully functional.
From a really nice article by Simon Stuart.
Who thought that he was ever at the Basic side of things (:
And of course it ends with correct Delph-ee pronunciation to be right: the community at large has spoken.
Given this week went very different than I anticipated, here is a much shorter story than I hoped for. I’ll focus on the early days, you can read on the later and current days here on my blog.
For me, my Delphi life has been pretty straight forward. It started with the early days and Turbo Pascal leading to Delphi.

Thanks Uwe Raabe for sharing
This sounds interesting: http://www.twodesk.com/castalia/thanks.html

As the page then read:

Castalia for Delphi is not currently available. Thank you for your interest.
