In the [url=http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/scripts/EasyWindowDrag_(KDE).htm]documentation[/url] the comment is a result of copy and paste :

GetKeyState,KDE_Button,RButton,P ; Break if LButton has been released.

Thanks, that's been fixed. Please continue to report typos in the documentation whenever you notice them. Or you can just mail them to support@autohotkey.com.

My bad. Thanks for reporting it.

Ok, here is another one in ControlClick:

Good catch; I'll definitely fix that. In this case, it was probably caused by global search & replace across all documents.

Here we go again :
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SetTimer.htm
"If you wish the timer's first first execution to be immediate..."

BTW I just love to RTFM, really, Autohotkey has one of the best documentations one can wish, I especially value the examples very high!

Another small annoyance:
On the page http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Variables.htm
in the A_EventInfo section there is a Note. I think it should be outside of the table cell, as it does not refer to A_EventInfo only.

Thanks; I've changed it.

Interesting thread for small thingies not worth a separate entry...

Two notes I took when first reading the doc. (I omit the Gosub/Exit already reported):

Script section, "Comments in Scripts": "Tip: The first comma of any command may be omitted. "
I don't feel this tip belongs to comments... I suggest you put this tip in the Tutorial section, since you first use this syntax here and I was a bit confused to see MsgBox without initial comma unlike the previous examples...

AutoScriptWriter is mentioned twice in the doc, but not much information is given on how to use it.
I understand that it is a third party software, and finally rather simple to use, but a link to a page with a few words on its usage could help. I was perplexed until I found out that the red logo is an actual button...

1) You write: Text
Unmodifiable text with no border
After testing, I saw that is not exactly true on the "Unmodifiable" side (even if I understand that the sense is to oppose it to Edit): you can use ControlSetText to change the text. Or, as toralf pointed out, the more appropriate GuiControl command.
It is nicer than using a read-only Edit control, I often use such thingies to display debug data...
Perhaps you can add a line about this in this paragraph or change slightly the wording.

Also, the GuiControl page should include the Text control in the (Blank) and Text sub-commands.

2) Why If[Not]InString isn't in the Flow of Control section? There is a link to this command in the If page, but it is near the bottom, and one can miss it in a quick glance (I did... "Mumble... I recall something like that, where can it be? Mumble..." ).
I would include in the yellow list, I see not reason why it isn't there.

Thanks; I've made a note to correct those things in the documentation.

Still reporting some small remarks on the fine documentation.
Perhaps this thread should be renamed, or perhaps I should start one of my own

1) PostMessage / SendMessage has a convenient link to the message list.
OnMessage hasn't, at least, not on the MsgNumber description.
It would be nice to add one, since I am not able to locate this page in the Summary tab of the CHM file.

2) SysGet: "Within a function, to create an set of variables"
