so I mention AutoGUI in the description.
but perhaps it's not so clear or explicit...

Oh, yes, I see now. I overlooked that. In 'Digi' theme, these descriptions only appear as a tooltip, while in our default theme it is constantly visible.

thanks, gregster. Yes, that is the case. I thought the change would be abrupt too, so I mention AutoGUI in the description.
but perhaps it's not so clear or explicit...

@Alguimist Could you add a descriptive topic soon or at least a stub/placeholder? I can pin it for you after.

I noticed another problem: 'Adventure IDE' doesn’t seem to link to anything.

Afaik, Adventure IDE will be the AutoGUI replacement that Alguimist plans to publish very soon. So it links to a still (mostly) empty subforum.

That subforum has an 'Old Topics' subforum itself, though - with the AutoGUI topics posted so far. Perhaps that should be clarified (in the sub-subforum title ? and/or a sticky post) as some users might continue to use AutoGUI, at least temporarily...

@joedf Thanks for fixing. I noticed another problem: 'Adventure IDE' doesn’t seem to link to anything.

Cheers

@TAC109 Good eye! Thanks, updated.

@joedf The new sub forums are great, but they aren’t showing up at the top level under 'Editors'.

Cheers

New Sections are done. Moving this topic to Forum Issues.

Okay sure, I'll add them later today or this weekend... and attempt to manually move all relevant topics accordingly.

Woa, brilliant

Thank you so much

. (would really like to offer to help, but have no clue what I'm doing

I don't see why not.

Thanks joedf. If we (you?) are happy to create one for VS Code, then only seems fair to do same for Notepad++. Does that fit in with how you want this section structured (I don't want to tread on any toes here)?

I know nothing about how a forum works - so, if we do make new sub-forums, can / should existing threads about those editors be moved into the new forum(s)?

I'm fairly sure that just exposing these editors in this way will help users to see the choice available and better select one for their needs.

Thanks for chipping in on this.

I don't see why not.

Interesting thoughts - so if we wanted to make a case for a new sub-forum for vscode, who to ask?

I suppose the main people to ask are @joedf and @tank as I believe they drove the discussion and decision-making when the Editors sub-forum and its sub-forums were being contemplated.

Even though I use VS Code almost exclusively (except for CodeQuickTester for testing quick scripts), I think I am fine with the current arrangement where we only have dedicated sub-forums for editors that were specifically created for (and written in) AHK. There aren't so many threads in the main section of the Editors sub-forum that it makes it hard to find the VS Code-specific threads and see when new ones are posted, in my opinion. And if you're going to create one for VS Code, then it would seem only logical to create one for Notepad++ since that is used by far more AHK users so far. Perhaps there is a good case to be made for only those two other editors getting their own dedicated sub-forums.

VS code is really powerful!

That’s all I could come up with since my degrees are only a bachelor’s in engineering and an MBA.

Seriously though, it speaks to the popularity of VS Code that as a write-in, it beat out most of those that were listed explicitly.

Unfortunately there's just no way to know.

That's a bold assumption. I worked in Market research for ~20 years and have a masters degree in Market Research. You'd be amazed as to what people use things for...

Now having said that what I can say is that because so many people wrote in VS code or Visual Studio Code, there's likely at least 2 times the number that didn't write it in. (I've done studies where we measured this so I have some data to back this claim)

Please understand these are different people than we first previously mentioned because you could only choose one option either a named editor or select "other" and write something in.

How should I add my vote to add Visual Studio Code as a sub-forum, please?

Thanks for the reply.

Microsoft uses the umbrella term "Visual Studio" for both on this entry page https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/ . Visual Studio Code is by far the most popular code editor in the world.

I think it's likely that almost all of them meant Visual Studio Code. I would expect that almost no one actually uses Visual Studio (the IDE) for AHK, not even people like lexikos and Helgef who likely use it when they work on the C++ source code for AHK. I would think you could pretty much add the 23 people who wrote in Visual Studio Code/VS Code to the 8.6% (53 people?) that selected Visual Studio and conclude that around 12% of the people who responded use Visual Studio Code.
