I worked with AHK from time to time (which means there is a time difference of half a year or one year). I programmed some thousand lines of code and I really like AHK.

But: Every time I start a new project or I have to alter an old one the same problem: When to use "=" or ":=". Yes ok: RFM, read the manual. But why do I have to write:

Kdo = %1%
Kdo := StringUpper Kdo

SO PLEASE my wish: Confused May be for the next revision(s), may be 2.0... Could be with a new keyword (for compatibility with many many ... old scripts): "Version XX".

Make "=" and ":=" work alike.

(And please no comments like: too complicated; yes I think it will be complicated but as well I think most of new users and part of those programmers using AHK from time to time have that problem. So just think this over. May be this leads to a still better and easier to use AHK. Wink )

Thanks kape.

This is intended for v2.0:
Pending Changes wrote:
AutoHotkey version 2, which will sacrifice some backward compatibility to eliminate confusing aspects of the syntax such as having two assignment operators (= and :=) and two types of IF-statements.


You can see the list of pending changes here.
