You first have to execute "(Your AHK dir)\Extras\Editors\PSPad\Run this to install syntax and clip files for PSPad.ahk". It will install syntax highlighting, clips, and help file for AutoHotkey.

Thanks Rabiator - I had installed it and had the syntax highlighting was working fine so not quite sure what had happened - reinstalled PSPad and the AHK Extras script and it's working as expected now.

Ctrl-J is my most-used feature of PSPad
AutoCompletion is working for most commands (after installation systax-coloring) and works wonders on variables (no typos possible any more).
Ctrl-Space was never used in practice..

I'll update the list of shortcuts in my earlier post for anyone who wants a quick over-view in future.

@ Thalon: I didn't realise Ctrl+J auto-completes for variables too - that's definitely handy as I like to use (long) descriptive names for my variables.

@ JSLover:
Yes Ctrl+J is configurable (Settings > Program Settings > Key Map > Tools) but I didn't notice anywhere to change Ctrl+Space which was odd. By "auto-complete a full command line" I meant that it inserts a full example of its usage from the help file such as "Sort, VarName [, Options]".


Also I noticed the shortcut for Autohotkey help is Alt+F1

Thanks Rabiator (this was a typo) and JSLover (I did not recognize my mistake, because in german a PN is the same as a PM!)

I really like the PSPad because of this feature (I also prefere very descriptive names, so that every noob (I) can read the code also in some month without heavy description

But I think it is broken if the code exceeds about 8000 lines XD
After this break-through there are several names which can't be autocompleted any more (used in the above part), so I think there is a maximum of words or letters in the autocompletion-buffer.

Hi All
A relative newcomer to any programming and I am very impressed with AHK and what I can now achieve.

I started by using PSPad, and again, I was very impressed, but..

I wanted a feature where I could condense the code to a single line, to help me understand the overall structure of everyones scripts.
As far as I am aware PSPad does not have 'code folding'. where as Notepad++ does. This is invaluable to me as I learn more.

Any help is always appreciated.

Thanks
dB

doublebogey is right, it's a pity PSPad is missing this feature - a while back I was searching the forums of PSPad to see if it was possible, but found it was a requested feature, although I have no idea if it is going to be added or not.

Damn... I can't figure out how to get AHK syntax highlighting in PSPad

I tried "Run this to install syntax and clip files for PSPad" and tried it also manually, but failed Is there a step-by-step how-to somewhere?

While we are on the Cntl+J and Cntl+Space shortcuts.
If you using a mouse wheel with click, it does the same as Cntl+space.

Click mouse wheel, and then scroll to AHK function required. Select as normal

Thanks

@ brotherS: "but failed" - could you be more precise? Have you tried opening an ahk file in PSPad to see if it works?

@ Guest: Thanks for reminding me about the middle-click, forgot to add that to the list.
