Thank you very much, PhilHo for that lexer- that's great work. And thanks for the HowTo to n-l-i-d. This got me to trie it- before I just waited for Notepad++ to support AHK. Scite runs from USB-sticks and that was exactly what I needed.

By the way: The last post in the Notepad++ Forum by Notepad++ author DonHo , dated 2006-11-19 was

No, I am not satisfied with the current state of the lexer - decent, but very perfectible - and I started a quite different version. The project is currently sleeping (under a stack of other projects...), but requests like that reduce the delay before awakening... Thanks.

BTW, n-l-i-d, many thanks for this great tutorial!

Another interesting question to ask would be also: Why is AutoIt already supported by Notepad++ but AutoHotkey not?

Boskoop provided the right answer/citation: my lexer isn't yet an official one (integrated to Scintilla).

Thanks for your excellent work PhiLho.

I use Programmers Notepad 2 which uses the Scite lexer but i have been unsuccessful in trying to make a working ahk syntax highlighting for ahk. When i came upon this post i thought this would solve it but, i still have been unsuccessful in getting it to work. Anyone have an ideas?

When I choose it on WinXPPro (Chinese language), It works fine. However, on Win2k, when I use your lexer and properties and then input Chinese characters , SciTE crashes.
The same case also occurs for the defaut ahk properties file ,which assigns the lexer to asm) , and scilex.dll regardless of xp and 2k. But everything is normal for the au3.
Btw, I use autoit4scite 1.72

I am not sure what can be the issue. You should try with WSciTE (standard SciTE distribution) to sort out if the problem is with SciTE or AutoIt4SciTE.

I have tried out with both Wscite and Stite4AutoIt3. The case is same.
Now I have to comment

PhiLho thanks for your effort.
I like editing AHK with SciTE a lot.
But even with your actual version (2006-11-26) I cannot open the AHK help with F1 if I dont modify the follwing two lines in the ahk1.properties:
(removed both "1")

Thanks, it is likely a search/replace side-effect... Sad

Compile was broken as well, so I replaced *.ahk1 with $(file.patterns.ahk), which makes more sense anyway.
If somebody wants to add *.ahi or *.ahki (include files), for example, he has to do it in one place only.

Dear Philho,
I'm currently looking at Notepad++ as a possible replacement for PSPad which I'm currently using. I read that this project is put on hold. Could you please give some information when new updates could be expected?
Otherwise I will just try it with the current files. Thanks for the lexer

Uh, I am not sure what you mean by "this project".
If you mean my lexer, indeed it was some time since I last updated it. It is quite usable, with a few quirks. I still plan to go back to the project someday.

Now, the problem is that Notepad++ cannot use my lexer without changing the source of the editor. If you plan to do this, fine, many people will rejoice.

Reading this post from Skan suggests that it is possible to use it. Am I wrong?

Notepad++ allows to define a language highlighting, but it might be less powerful than my lexer, for a language as complex as AHK. It cannot use my SciLexer.dll without recompilation: list of languages is hard-coded, IIRC. I looked at its source, and of Notepad2, both are quite locked on the supported languages.
