Another way to keep the ToolTip is to write "Loop , Parse" or "Loop Parse"

I have played around with CallTips in SciTe and found a way to get them to work in right way.
I have changed ahk.api and ahk.properties and also added NumPut/NumGet/RegisterCallback to ahk.keywords.properties.

- It keeps showing CallTip even if you press Space.
- It will also mark current parameter in CallTip.
- I have also added description to each command and function that will be shown on second line in CallTip.

However there are 2 disadvantages:
1. Calltip will only work if you press {Tab} after your command or {(} after a function.
- This looks to be the only way to get CallTip to work correct.
- AutoHotkey accepts {,} + {Space} + {Tab} as first separator so using {Tab} will work as well.

2. CallTip is not shown automatically, not sure why.
- To show CallTip you need to press CTRL & SHIFT & SPACE.
- Use this code as workaround.


You need to replace following files:
.\SciTe\ahk.properties
.\SciTe\ahk.keywords.properties
.\SciTe\api\ahk.api

Additionally you have to enable Tabulators, press CTRL + SHIFT + I in SciTE.

Tell me what you think.

Did anyone have a try?

Please give me some feedback. Thank you.

In the default installation, the call tips function works oddly - at least for my coding style, and obviously for others in this thread also.

If comma placement is not exactly where it expects, the call tip disappears even while a syntactically correct line is still being coded.

One example...


...loses the call tip as soon as the comma is typed.


...is okay, but I don't like spaces before the comma.

A few other situations are also a bit flaky.

Leaving everything alone except for the following two modifications makes it perfect - at least for my coding style. Comma location is then not critical.

In file ahk.properties, make two mods...

1.

Change...
...to...


2.
Change...
...to...

Works for me as well, but it does still not mark current parameter blue, or does it do for you?
Also the second line information and additional CallTips for commands like Loop, Gui, Menu... are very nice to have, at least it helps me a lot.

Hi
I've tried Scite and like it a lot.
However, I would like to change the command parameters color which is really a very pale grey not very kind to my poor eyesight

e.g. #singleInstance force

The word force is very pale

I would like to have it a darker shade of grey maybe. You change what and where? In the SciteGlobal.properties maybe?

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA
Serge

You can change it in ahk.properties.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
I found that I have to change...
to do what I want

Would you know by any chance where I could find color codes besides the 16 basic colours in the AutoHotkey Help?

TIA

Serge

I love this editor, but 2 minor changes I'd like to make:

1. Get it to recognize the syntax for new line, `n, carriage return, `r, and so forth, so that the list box of commands wouldn't appear when I type them.

2. The toolbar sometimes gets in the way and blocks the code. I'd like to make it semi-transparent, and I'd like to be able to hide it or close it.

Any ideas how to do those?

Hello, why are you posting in the old v1 thread?
Please post in this thread for the v2 version, SciTE4AutoHotkey v1 is no longer maintained.

Ah, and about the toolbar, I plan on making a *real* toolbar, but I have some serious problems with Windows 9x/ME compatibility
