Syntax error in SciTE for v2

Post by kunkel321 » 10 Feb 2023, 17:23

Just an FYI. With SciTE for AHKv2, I tried out the "Hotstring Helper" code here:
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/Hotstring.htm#ExHelper
The code seems to work fine but SciTE's syntax highlighting suggests that there is a problem with the first and last double-quote in the InputBox. (see screenshot)

Thank you for the excellent Editor, by the way!

I guess you are not changing "platform"?

I had NOT changed the platform! Thanks for the tip flyingDman, and sorry about the false alarm!

EDIT: On a related topic: Why do you suppose they didn't change the extension to ".ahk2" ? It seems like it would avoid a lot of confusion. Then again, I suppose apps never really change their extensions along with their version numbers...
