I'm also using the style in documentation, but the most unreadable thing (for me) are ifs, loops o.ä. in this style:instead ofMight sound silly, but readability drops by 80% for me

That's why I always use expressions for Ifs - much simpler and v2 compatible.

@Titan
I was refering to the brackets

I really hate this "{" in the same line as the command!
Please forbid it
It doesn't match the documentation, too :0)

Right - I had totally forgotten about Auto-Syntax-Tidy!
That looks like it might do the trick - thanks toralf!

It does.

@Ace_NoOne
It doesn't match the used examples.
It's only a added (tolerated?) possibility
It wasn't valid before 1.0.41 and I really hate this!! (Sounds too hard, but if I take a script with this notation I have to rework it completely first before being able to read it properly).

I know what you mean, Thalon - I don't use OTB myself either (only for CSS and JavaScript ).
But it does "match the documentation"...

PS: Schaff' was!

It's purely stylistic, so it shouldn't be that big a deal. I, for one, like it, and I know at least a few others do too, so it would be a much bigger deal to remove it just because other people might not like reading code we've written.



This is unavoidable in a language with any kind of flexibility, since everyone has their own preferences. What looks elegant and readable to one person may (and most likely will) be detestable to another.

Yes, jonny you are right.
So this topic can be closed

I LOVE XKCD!!!!
in case you wanted to know...

i agree with jonny: its purely stylistic, and like others have said, AHK aims for simpliciy and ease of use (for beginners) so restricting it like that is a bad idea in my worthless opinion

and im really lazy so most of my code is lowercase (as are my posts ) but whenever i see code by PhiLho or others i always like how pretty it is and i tell myself i should make mine better. But laziness always wins


Edit: and i agree with thalon about the OTB!! Its a cool feature, but i don't like it. I love the fact that both work in AHK (OTB is not a huge deal, so restricting people would just be dumb...)

In the spirit of veering off-topic, here are my all-time xkcd favorites (in chronological order):

• #32
• #36
• #53
• #148
• #149
• #156
• #163
• #195

Sorry for this, but when it comes to xkcd, I'm getting all soft and fuzzy (even though things like today's comic can leave me baffled and dismayed)...

The regular expressions one is teh lollage...
I've also came down with the wiki syndrome a few times, glad to know I'm not the only one.

lol yeah, i like the sudo make me a sandwich, the pole-perspective one, etc.

@ Titan, lol yeah, you're not alone! its funny though cause alot of the things he posts make you feel better. Has anyone done this?

By the way if anyone cares. I made a "montage" of xkcd comics for my 1600x1200 screen (with the start bar twice as thick as usual). Heres the link.

True, Titan; the RegExp one is great too.

Not exactly; while I am in fact socially awkward, I'm usually just glad when people leave me the hell alone...

That montage is great, Veovis (even warrants your double-posting )!
My TFT limits resolution to 1280x1024 though. Of course I could make my own montage ... but I try to stay away from graphics programs because I'm "colorly challegenged", have no eye for design whatsoever, and - worst of all - get obsessed about positioning (single pixels do matter, even if you can't actually see a difference!).

Hmm, I guess that's enough self-disclosure for a day...

I admit i have never gotten out of my car and tried to befriend anyone, but i always notice if they are in sync. (click...click...click "ARE THEY IN SYNC????" cl-click...cli-click....click-click.... "DANGIT!!")
