 |
|
| I'm very new to programming and AHK's syntax is giving me fits. Which of these [url="http://www.autohotkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Script_Listing#Editors"]editors[/url] would be the most newbie friendly in helping me to learn proper syntax? |

I doubt that you would ask someone to choose a wife/husband for you, right? So why should this be different? It's a matter of taste. As we don't know exactly your taste (in this case called requirements), it's hard to give a usefull advise. Good luck. 
Check out Rajat's InteliSense script (and if I remember it right, another one by majkinetor). These are helpfull tools to learn AHK's syntax with any editor you like. |

| I'd say Notepad++ is the best, provided you download and install the custom language file on the Autohotkey site. It's also the best in general IMHO. |

| I agree with Topico. Notepad++ is by far the best notepad replacement I have come across IMNSHO and it supports AutoHotkey syntax highlighting. You can download it from this link. |

| SciTE is the only way to go. |

I go with SciTE also. This thread has a link to an ahk-enabled SciTE. It's what I use and I set it up for use on a usb drive, but it will work from a harddrive also. If you do run it from a harddrive, you only have to run SciTElauncher once - to update a configuration setting. (It won't hurt to run SciTElauncher every time, it's just not necessary. It will maximize SciTE when it loads it, but if you don't care about that don't use it.)
