SciTE4AutoHotkey v3.0.06.01 [Updated October 12 2014]

[lexikos]

Which hotkeys?

If you update SciTE4AutoHotkey (manually) from GitHub, you can disable the default toolbar buttons and their corresponding hotkeys by creating a file called $NODEFTOOLBAR in the same directory as SciTEUser.properties. This removes all of the default buttons to the right of the run/debug buttons, but you can restore them by copying from the global toolbar.properties into your user toolbar.properties minus the hotkeys. The $NODEFTOOLBAR check was added by fincs in 2014 but not formally released.

To disable TillaGoto and its hotkeys, you can add tillagoto.enable=0 to your SciTEUser.properties.

For the debugger, I just remove the hotkeys (search SciTEDebug.ahk for ::) and implement my own externally. However, they're only active while debugging a script (you start debugging by clicking the green bug button on the toolbar).

Are these relevant? Otherwise, I think you may be right :p

joedf, the user.shortcuts are implemented by Scintilla, not by hotkeys, so they do not override the user's hotkeys. Of those, the only shortcuts I'd get rid of are KeypadPlus and KeypadMinus - none of the others are overriding some other function, afaik.

Btw...

They seem to get triggered before AHK.

Nope. The hotkeys I listed in my previous post are all implemented by AHK.

If you use #UseHook and reload your script after starting SciTE, it's likely that your hotkeys will take over.

Ahh okay, thanks. good to know

@joedf, @lexikos
Thank you both so much for taking the time to walk me through this. I look scrupulously at everything you suggested (additional files, GitHub patch etc.) Good to know the main locations where these config are stored. SciTE is working perfectly for me now.

But in fairness, I really must own up and admit, with great embarrassment, that I had placed SciTE twice in one of the ahk_groups involved, instead of once in each of the two. It's very likely that I wasted your time and that the shortcuts should have worked in the first place, as you hinted.

Thanks again.

Wishing you both a fun weekend.

Active Window Information Utility not on toolbar

Every 6 months or so, SCITE Version 3.0.06.01 loads without the "Active Window Information Utility" button on its toolbar(s). Not knowing that info makes programming close to impossible. This failure gets then gets remembered in some ? backup/general files that SCITE uses, so the failure persists.https://autohotkey.com/boards/posting.p ... y&f=6&t=62#

In
- what file
- should I change which value,
to "force" the Active Window Information Utility (toolbar) button to reappear on the next load of SCITE?
(Currently my frustrating work-around is to reinstall and re-set SCITE.)

[joedf]

Yes, I believe it is due to windows failure to connect or attach some times. Usually because of lag, windows background updates,, etc
Happens to libcon.ahk

[guest3456]

couple things broken in the portable version:

- Run Script from toolbar doesn't work
- menu Tools -> S4AHK Diag Util

[lexikos]

I have entirely replaced the variable lists and object explorer with something more to my liking.

See DebugVars for details.

[joedf]

Very nice

[evilC]

Very, very cool.

I can't seem to get Scite to build.
Patch.exe is not a normal windows executable?
I tried patch for windows, but when I ran the patch -p1 command, a console window flashed up briefly, but nothing seemed to happen - I see no .sln files.
What folder should you execute the patch command in? The root of the unzipped scite360.tgz with the scintilla and scite folders in?

[joedf]

interesting method of updating...

[hugin]

Started my Ahk Scripting with Notepad++, now I can't think of using anything other than SciTE4

Question, is the editor still alive when it comes to updates, bug-fixing etc?
As it is, it covers my needs to the fullest so I don't need for anything newer version per say, I'm just curious I guess

[evilC]

I managed to apply the patch, so for those who are also having trouble, here is what I did:
Download Cygwin from here: https://cygwin.com/install.html
When installing, at the stage when it pops up the packages, you need to add the "patch" package (Select "Full" from the dropdown and search for "patch"). If you miss it, just re-run the installer.

Then open a cygwin terminal and follow the instructions for the patch syntax.
The rest I found straightforward.

For those just wanting instant gratification, I have uploaded a pre-built copy to my website.
Just download the normal Scite4AHK installer, install it, then unzip this zip and overwrite files.

[joedf]

Nice

[JJohnston2]

Thanks evilC... very convenient for you to zip and attach.

I was hoping that method would work but may have to try something else as I am getting COM errors (may not be related to the zipped files themselves of course).

Msg 1:"SciTE4AutoHotkey: Can't create COM interface! Some program functions may not work [Ok]"

Msg 2: "SciTE4AutoHotkey: Cannot find SciTE! [Ok]"

[evilC]

I swear I was getting that error until I replaced the InternalAHK.exe with the latest AHK, maybe I goofed?
Can anyone else confirm if it is working or not for them?
When you unzipped, did you overwrite a bunch of files? Maybe the files went to the wrong place?

[haichen]

I think the InternalAHK.exe has to replaced with the newest (renamed) AutoHotkeyU32.exe ?

[evilC]

Yup, I goofed. Zip was missing InternalAHK.exe
This has been fixed. Either re-download, or just pop the latest U32 AHK_L into the Scite folder as InternalAHK.exe

[JJohnston2]

Thanks!... works... starts without error and I see the DebugVars files in the SciTE folders now.

Does this just include the files with the SciTE installation, or does it add something as a new feature or menu option into SciTE?--haven't figured out how to access/use it yet if so. I went through the readme.md files on the GitHub pages also but they aren't aimed at an explanation of the SciTE integration--haven't tried run it separately besides the SciTE build above so maybe that will provide some clarity next.
