This is my UE wordfile, which can be used to highlight the syntax of AHK's .ini file. Unfortunately the colors themselves don't save with the file, so after replacing your wordfile (or integrating the AHK portion with your current Wordfile), you'll have to go set the colors in UE's config. settings.

FYI: This is used w/UE 10.0 Your mileage with other versions may vary!

Edit by moderator: See the UltraEdit folder in the AutoHotkey "Extras\Editors" folder for the most up-to-date wordfile for syntax highlighting.

Thanks for posting that. If you ever discover a way to have a shorter file, or some way of creating a script that auto-installs the new syntax components into this editor, please send it my way and I'll try to include it the Extras folder that is distributed with AutoHotkey.

Hi,
whynot actually posted the WHOLE syntax highlighting file, including Visual Basic, HTML, Java, etc. syntaxes. The only part concerning AHK is from /L1 to /L2 (this line excluded), where /L2"Visual Basic" syntax definitions start.

Noted, thanks. Ideally, I guess it would be best to have a mini-install script that would merge the AHK syntax definitions into the user's existing UltraEdit config file. Hopefully someday.

thanks. i've added the part between /L1 and /L2 to my wordfile.txt - forks perfectly

There's a new UltraEdit syntax highlighting installer in the Extras folder included with AutoHotkey. If you get a chance to try it, it might offer more features than the above.

On the other hand, the above might have some things that the new highlighter is missing. If you notice any, please let me know.
