Thanks for telling me before I started looking into it lol. Until RichEdit comes out I guess my editor is going to be like how it is I guess.
I've looked at PSPad and Notepad2, looks interesting. |

OK, I needed a NotePad replacement, so I got PSpad, since beardboy
went to the trouble of writing the *.ini & *.def files (Thanks, BB), but I
can't get PSpad to add AHK to its' list of Syntax's. I copied both files
from the Extras folder(BTW, why do I have *2* of those, one regular,
one with a (2) after it?), into the PSpad "Context" and "Syntax" folders,
(I just looked for other files in those folders that had the same extension),
and even after a re-start, it doesn't show up. Is there something I'm missing?
Any help, as always, will be greatly appreciated.

I have used Jedit a lot. It has quite a few handy plugins and themes that allow you to change the look. Plus, a quick-launch feature.

There's a shortcut to it in the Start Menu -> AutoHotkey\Extras

I'm not sure if these are the best steps, but it's what I did:
Put the .def file into PSPad\Context
Put the .ini file into PSPad\Syntax
In menu: Settings >> Highlighter Settings: Select the General item near the bottom on the left. Now the user highlighters list near the right side should become enabled and you can select AutoHotkey.
I think the open file must have a .ahk extension for the highlighting to kick in. In addition, to use the clip library, press Ctrl-Space while editing. |

"In menu: Settings >> Highlighter Settings: Select the General item near the bottom on the left. Now the user highlighters list near the right side should become enabled and you can select AutoHotkey. "
This worked, then you have to click on the "PAS\BAS button in the toolbar,
and AHK is now there.
Thanks,

Titan,
Nice job, i like the feel of it.
Can the links open a new browser and not take over my last open one?
Are there any color enhancements that you are going to add?
ex:
Send Commands would be in Red
Hot Keys listed in orange
that type of thing? i know there are other editors out there like that, but one designed just for AHK would be awesome.

Great improvements, such as the sample scripts and the "Run Script" button. I wish AutoHotkey had more to offer you in terms of features. As it stands now, your hands are pretty well tied to using a plain edit control, which prevents syntax highlighting and such. |

No, for now this is meant to happen so users can refer to the help file for the syntaxes and such lol

I would like to do this but as Chris told me, this isn't possible because there isn't a Richedit on AHK. So for now Syntax colouring can't be done soz.
This has been talked about before (a syntax for a new browser or something like that) but it doesn't seem that there is a roundabout soloution. Internet Explorer isn't in the %SystemRoot% so I couldn't even do a:
Run, IE.exe
Run, http:// ...

I suppose so, come to think of it syntax colouring and tooltips would be really hard and a long project. But I might have a bash when the oppertunety comes along anyway thanks.
Erm, I done an update to include an option to clean temporary made files (which can sometimes be really big depending on what you're doing). Also fixed some typos, alot of typos lol. |

i checked out both editors (yours and Titan's) ... very nice work! if developed more i'm sure they can sure beat some others.
there's one thing that every code editor should have, fixedys fonts... like maybe courier.
