In case someone is able to deal with implementing PhilHo's lexer:

Notepad++ uses regular SciLexer.dll, so replacing the provided one with mine and replacing two XML files should do the trick (once I finished doing that). No need for recompiling it. That's Notepad2 which needs recompiling. And I won't do it, I prefer to spend my scarce free time to improve the lexer (and do other projects).
[EDIT] My bad, both need recompiling, see below!

Dear PhiLho,



And will that add AHK to the Languages Menu?



Thanks!. Awaiting eagerly

Fair enough

(Scare free time or spare free time - that's the question! (Hamlet) )

I guess it should have been "Scarce free time"

Ehe, a c has been lost, indeed!

I made a sad discovery, Goyyah was right, Notepad++ needs to be recompiled too.
While the stylers.xml and langs.xml files looked like the program was flexible, looking in the sources to see why I didn't saw AutoHotkey in the language menu (as shown by Goyyah), I saw that author, for some reason, hard-coded the language lists in several places!
I don't understand this choice that forbid using less common languages already supported by Scintilla. Being more flexible wouldn't cost probably much. Of course, replacing its SciLexer.dll by a standard or customized one might break some features (perhaps the line draw mode, perhaps the user defined one) and would bloat it (since this is a subset of languages, it is smaller than standard one). But I am still disappointed.

Well, perhaps you can petition the author:
1) To be more flexible;
2) (more likely) To support AHK.
I still have the above XML files, in case they become useful someday.

Dear PhiLho,





As BoBo requested, maybe someday you should re-compile Notepad2 atleast.

First update, see first post to see what is changed: various bug fixes, functionnal folding.

Not me, sorry.
I downloaded the source of Notepad2, out of curiosity, and I saw it is even worse (read: less flexible) than Notepad++, in the sense that keywords and styles are hard-coded in the source code, so it seems very hard to alter them (style are overridable, but I saw no way to add or change keywords).

Again, I won't do it, but it shouldn't be such a hard task to upgrade these editors.

For Notepad++, I wrote a message in their forum, asking for more flexibility or perhaps future AHK support.

@ PhiLho
I'm fine with that and I really appreciate your effort to provide an AHK lexer. Thx mate.

I have sub-posted : http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3722727

Anybody else willing?

@PhiLho: Nice work on the lexer

Dear PhiLho,



I do not how but AHK shows in the bottom of the "Languages Menu"



Can I have a copy of those XML Files.. Please!

Regards,

They are stylers.xml and langs.xml, with only the AHK definitions, ie. they have to be merged in the existing files.

But I think you only created a User Defined language, and you already have the corresponding syntax files in %A_AhkPath%\Extras\Editors\Notepad++\
