We proudly present an amazing piece of work kindly provided by Boskopp at the German AutoHotkey Forum.
jEdit, an editor written with JAVA (I guess you would be able to write AHK scripts while on Linux Wink

), ready to deal with AHK !

Maybe Lazlo (or another bi lingual expert is able to adopt this for the english speaking comunity, as the [HowTo configure jEdit for AutoHotkey] is written in German.

There is a jEdit configuration distributed with AutoHotkey (in the extras folder). Assuming this is the same "jEdit" referred to above, Boskopp or anyone else is welcome to submit improvements for distribution.

Not bad! I don't see it replacing my PSPad however. Maybe because I am just used to it but PSPad seems to be more solid (for lack of a better word).

Just my opinion!

Pspad has a problem with wrapping and searching. Load a file that has long lines in it. A log file for example. Then turn on line numbering and wrapping in pspad.

Here are the instructs for turning on pspad wrapping (from the PSPad author himself)...

PSPad v4.3.3 (2092)

1) From the menu bar: "Settings" » "Program Settings..." » click [Direct Edit] button » change "WordWrapEnabled=0" to "WordWrapEnabled=1".

2) A new 'lines wrapping' button will appear in the middle of toolbar, to the right of the "Delete Selected Text" button, [X].

3) Close and re-open PSPad to enable word wrap.

If you can see that the lines are wrapped, search for a word that appears several times throughout the file. When searching select the List option. In the search results window, note how the line numbers do not match where the searched for string is. Also, dbl-click on some of the lines in the results window. Note how the highlighted line does NOT have the searched for string in it.

This bug has been in pspad for just about forever. I do not expect to see it fixed soon.

Jedit has an advanced search plugin which is just one example of a plugin that I would use with writing AHK scripts.

I guess that you are also clueless about Vim as well.

This is the short version of my HowTo configure jEdit for AutoHotkey (in German). You can find the scripts and the more detailed Howto in German here for download . It might be necessary to change some paths in the scripts.
Maybe someone feels like adapting the install-script that comes with AHK?

Download jEdit
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jedit/jedit42install.exe

Starting jEdit from USB
jEdit store configuration data by default in the directory "Documents and Settings". If you want to store config files somewhere else (on a USB-stick), you can start jEdit using the following AHK-skript.

Thanks for the English translation. I'll try to apply your improvements to the version distributed with AutoHotkey. Since it might be a while, anyone is welcome to do it beforehand. Though probably too much to expect, it would be ideal to have a simple GUI for J-edit configuration like the one for TextPad (which is at Extras\Editors\TextPad\Run this to install syntax and clip library files for TextPad.ahk).
