Which editors support AutoHotkey v2?

[lexikos]

I am looking to collate a list of editors which support AutoHotkey v2, or files/guides for configuring editors to support it.

Syntax highlighting:

• Are the basic elements highlighted correctly (comments, single and double quoted strings, numbers, control flow statements, hotkeys)?
• Are built-in functions recognized (or are keywords configurable)?
• How accurate or detailed is the highlighting?

Does it have:

• The ability to run the script from directly within the editor?
• Auto-complete? Built-in or user-defined words?
• Auto-indent?
• Call tips (showing the parameters of a function while the user is writing a function call)? Built-in functions only, or user-defined?
• Interactive debugging - line stepping, breakpoints, inspecting variables?
• Anything else (in short)?

If an editor also supports v1, that may be worth noting as well.

For editors that only support v1, I would like to know the status of any attempts to add v2 support.

Some quick notes on Notepad2 (Scintilla based) editors, forked from Notepad2 (end of life 2012) and Notepad2-mod (end of life 2017, v1 lexer by PhiLho)

Notepad3: No v2 support last year, unsure of current status. Some AutoHotkey talk in issue and there's LexAHKL2.cxx (based on v1 RaptorX lexer) but then again no v2 keywords here.

Notepad2e: No v2 lexer, v1 lexer by PhiLho

Notepad2 fork by zufuliu: v2 lexer LexAutoHotkey.cxx for Lexilla (no attribution comment so by zufuliu I guess).
Yes:
- basic elements highlighted correctly
- built-in functions recognized
- highlight accuracy good (so far in my limited use of it)
- run script from editor (Ctrl+L)
- auto-complete v2 keywords built in
- auto-indent
No:
- call tips
- interactive debugging

ahk2 in vim, neovim and sublime text4
I can't write vim scripts, and syntax highlighting is not implemented.
Simple sublime syntax highlighting is provided, and the rest is provided by semantic highlighting.

Just in case some one wants to run with the idea again, from a few years ago https://github.com/ahkscript/AutoHotkey-Editors e.g. if there is a list of functions, variables etc making syntax highlighting files for a variety of text editors is relatively easy to maintain.

V2 Adoption will increase once we get a dedicated IDE that supports it.
Offer the tools. Provide the documentation.
Then the people will come. The transition will be smooth and pleasant.

Notepad++

Syntax highlight should be almost complete.
AutoCompletion is anything but up to date / finished.

But since Notepad++ uses Scintilla and Lexilla, we could integrate it directly into Notepad++ with some work

Do not forget Visual Studio Code, in combination with the Autohotkey v2 language support and Autohotkey Plus Plus.

yeah Agree Vscode with AHK is so sweet you can see all files like images and get their relative path while coding.
