NOW SAVES FILES AS "TYPE=FILE" instead of "TYPE=AHK" so they don't execute with AHK.
I have to go to folder and make a "new AHK" first for the file to execute from the folder. The RUN button does not work on files made with the NEW button.

IF I CLICK UPPER LEFT ICON FOR A NEW FILE, and SAVE, it gets filetype='FILE' instead of 'AHK' so it does not execute from the run button, and it requires a double click or "open with" to specify AHK to run from the folder - which does not update the default application, so that is needed each time execution is requested.

As a workaround, I just added .ahk to the filename in the save dialog.
As long as a file gets the ahk-extension (at the initial save, or later in file explorer), everything should be fine.

Yea, now you have to add the extension in the Save dialog. As small as this is, it is hugely annoying because I tend to forget on a daily basis. I just save again with the extension and then clean up my Save folder later of all these orphan files with no extension.

I have tried messing around in the properties file but no joy.

replace malfunctions, even with fresh install, on my Win11 ^H creates footer with line for Find: and Replace:, BUT
find: is fine
replace: does not have text input field

also: can I add a shortcut to open current document with gvim, so I can search/replace and edit there?
