Hi,

I don't think it's been updated recently... or in the last couple of years, and there's several bugs in it. For instance, when you do /* */, it shows any code after it as comments out (green). Also, when you do something with a standard function it turns blue, but you can continue to type and it will always be blue.

For instance "Gui" turns blue

if you change it to "Guiasdasdasdasd" it is still blue. It would be helpful if this was fixed, as it's my favorite editor Smile

Could you provide an improved "userDefineLang.xml"?
It is in "%AHKPath%\Extras\Editors\Notepad++". Or is the problem somewhere else?

Maybe you can create a script that creates this file automatically from the syntax files. I do not know if Chris updates it automatically. I found some words which have been added in v1.0.41. So it is not that old.

I just noticed that the "AHK Autohotkey.api" is ascii too. But it seems to be just commands. Please take a look if the problem is there?
Since TreeView is in the list, I guess it is automatically created and up to date.

Ok - I'll take a look.

Hi - fixed those two problems.

If you or Chris (if he reads this) could put this in the Notepad++ folder instead of the current one:

userDefineLang.xml

I did the necessary changes and it's doing much better now Smile

Thanks,
If Chris doesn't post in a few days, send him a PM or email. I assume he will be happy about the improvements you made. Please describe the changes, if possible.

Argh, Yet Another Super-Scrolling Topic (YASST)...
I suppose you don't have choice, if that's the format of the XML file.
BTW, what is this Noepad++ editor? I didn't knew it.
Oh, it seems to be Notepad++...

Thanks for the updated file. It will be included in the next release.

..

I've been scripting AHK in EditPlus all this time and I never knew about this directory until now.

Btw, in EditPlus if I put a (;) comment on the same line as a (example:) subroutine, the comment stays red and does not turn green.

It also thinks that when I use (gui :#) I'm calling a sunroutine and makes it red.

In NotePad++ when using the expression method of "%", everything after the symbol is orange until it hits another lone % symbol.

I'm aware Kahz Smile

but unfortunately I don't think Notepad++ supports a way to fix that

I like EditPlus's method of conforming to AHK's style and syntax better than NotePad++. I just they would add way to collapse code with those nifty [ + ] things that NotePad has.

With the following code, only the first variable appears orange:

FileAppend, %A_Now%|%A_UserName%|%myVar1%|%myVar2%`n, out.txt

Notepad++ v3.6
AHK v10.0.44.12
