I am a new member, and couldn't find any post on this topic yet.

A new version of Notepad++ (5.0) has just come out and the autocomplete file format has changed from api to xml. So I have just spent a "few" hours converting from AHK Autohotkey.api to AHK Autohotkey.xml and would like to upload the new xml file for others to use.

How can I upload this file please?

Sticky: AutoHotkey.net upload and share your scripts online for free

Have just uploaded AHK Autohotkey.zip (8.58 kb - which contains AHK Autohotkey.xml) to directory ludamo on AutoHotkey.net. Thanks.

Would you mind posting a link to make it easier for everyone to get to it?

Sorry, I've been busy lately.

Here's the xml file (I copied a bunch of text, added commas to the ends of commands, and pasted it back in the original file -- it works fine for me).

And one for those who prefer black backgrounds:

I prefer a black background myself. BTW, if you want to edit the colors, all you gotta do is open the xml file with a text editor. The colors are in hex format, and can be found at the bottom of the file.

Am I the only one who gets whacky colors with a line like...

msgbox [color=orange]% Hi [color=orange]; this text and all text after the % will appear orange because it 
is waiting for the matching "%"[/color]
[color=orange]msgbox Uh Oh`, this whole line will appear orange in the editor now[/color]

Anytime you have a line with an unmatched %, everything gets screwed up as its waiting for the "%'s" matching pair.

Its really annoying. This is a problem for me with the default autohotkey Notepad++ script, but I'd love to have it fixed. Notepad++ is pretty much unusable to me without a fix, and I'm clueless about building a language file that resets the colors back to normal on the next line.

I use PSPad all the time and have been shopping around for something different with collapsable code, but all that orange is really annoying and a dealbreaker. Thanks for putting in the effort.

[SoLong&Thx4AllTheFish]

quick fix, look up the line

<Keywords name="Delimiters">%00%00</Keywords>

and delete the %00%00 bit so you have an empty delimiters. It stops the highlighting of %A_index% as well but I don't mind...

Sorry guys Im gonna ask a real n00b question now: how do I update the file if I copy in the new XML file I see nothing different? am I missing something?

[infogulch]

i was having the same problem myself. i would try to change syntax highlighting, and nothing would happen. frustrating!!

the problem is most likely that for your user, you need to use the %AppData% dir, not the program directory itself. try:

%Root%\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Application Data\Notepad++\
