AutoHotkey Community

Love the editor, but I'm having a problem.

I have another application that uses the shortcut Ctrl+7, but whenever SciTE is running, this shortcut fails to work. If I close SciTE, it works fine.

The problem seems to apply to Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+7.

It seems like SciTE is swallowing up those keys.

These keys seem to be bound to various tools in SciTE, but I can't find where to disable them. Not sure if that would fix my problem anyway.

The problem doesn't stop Autohotkey from receiving the shortcut, only other applications (or at least the one I'm using). For example, I have defined the following script:



The message box appears, but the send command still does not trigger the associated function in my app.

Guys, thank you very much for an awesome editor!
I use it a lot

Btw, do you plan to add some features from Notepad++? I mean, many text-editor things are a bit more convenient there (for example, working with vertical selection blocks).
One more question - maybe i'm dumb, but i couldn't make SciTE4AutoHotkey v2 to remember my settings (e.g. uncheck Warp - it always checks it back)

control plus one of the following: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
works fine for me....

The Ctrl+NN issue has been fixed in the development build

@stansult: SciTE uses configuration files (*.properties) instead of a GUI, so you have to edit the following line of AutoHotkey\SciTE\SciTEGlobal.properties:

Dear creator of SciTEA4AutoHotKey

Thank you for the program. However, I am having trouble configuring it. What most vexes me is my inability to disable the autocomplete. (I want to be able to type without a box constarly popping up!) Please advise. Thanks.

PS: This post should appear as written by user 'nj@uk'. But I can't get the board to work properly. .

You have to edit SciTE\ahk.properties in a similar fashion:

Hi.

Is there anyway to get SciTE4AutoHotkey to autocomplete with user created functions?

i.e. If I create a function Multiply(), have that appear in the autocomplete box that appears for normal ahk commands?

Dear 'fincs'

That worked. Thank you. I would never have worked that out on my own.

Cheers

Lua & AHK

Anyone know how to get this working? Step by Step?

I went to the properites, added what I thought I needed and no go.

Is there a doc out there? Ty

Well, if you already have a working copy of AutoHotkey, why do you need Lua?
Maybe you are referring to the bundled AutoHotkey SciTE Lua script. If so, what exactly is your problem?

fincs,

You are probably getting tired of hearing how awesome of an editor this is... but here it is again... this editor is awesome. BEST ONE I HAVE EVER USED!!!

Couple of questions:

1)Do you have some other documentation besides what is provided in SciTE.chm? It would be really nice not to have to read through 9 forum pages to see if my question has already been posted. It would also prevent you from having to answer the same questions multiple times.

2)Notepad++ has a couple of features that I would love in SciTEAutoHotkey:
a)In Notepad++, when you double click on a word it highlights all of the same words in the entire file (they call it Smart Highlighting). Can SciTEAutoHotkey do this?
b)In Notepad++, they have a way of specifying a custom fold parameter. Can SciTEAutoHotkey do this?

3)I read through all 9 pages and I didn't see if it was possible to add syntax for other languages.

4)Sometimes I want to be able to look at 2 different scripts side-by-side. Is this possible? If not, then, is it possible to make a second installation of SciTEAHK and have both run simultaneously (so that I can put them side-by-side)?

Thanks again!

nice `n neat

just wanted to say this:
in the save as dialog for a new script, plz add "AutoHotKey Script (*.ahk)"

because each time i save a script i get the extension wrong and the syntax is not highlighted because of the wrong filetype

anyway, its a great contribution to AUTOHOTKEY

Yes, there is: http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDoc.html


I think SciTE doesn't have that feature.


You mean the folding symbols at the left? Sure, just edit this portion of the SciTEGlobal.properties:



The custom SciLexer.dll only has the AutoHotkey lexer. Due to the demand, SciTE4AHK v2.1 will readd the missing lexers.


This is not what you might have asked, but you can open both scripts and use the tabs at the top.


No, thanks to you


SciTE doesn't seem to allow this. Anyway I'll add another hack to SciTE because this seems like a sensible feature.

The installer sets the path to %ahkInstallationDirectory%\compiler
But compile_ahk is installed to the root of the ahk installation directory this causes the compile button in scite and the compile with compile_ahk II context menu item to fail.

Whoops, thanks for reporting the bug.
