Thanks lexikos, I have updated AHK_H to support context_names properly and created a Pull request.

evilC reccomended I post this here - Scite seems to go wonky when using continuation sections, as in the attached picture.

That may be true, but it's kind of weird to me how you wrote it...

How so? Admittedly I had to mostly figure out the syntax for continuation sections myself, but that is almost identical to how the help file does it. The only difference is I am using #LTrim to let me indent it.

@MaxAstro: What happens if you move the % sign out of the continuation section?
I checked with this code, and the stange "discoloration" is gone:

@MaxAstro: Sorry, I have written the last post before you mentioned #LTrim.
Now, I moved the % sign, a space and a " out of the continuation section:

Like wolf_II mentionned, it's the %... i'm sceptical...

@wolf_II: Oh! That is like the one syntax I didn't try. XD Took me forever just to figure out how to include a % in a continuation section in the first place. My version executes correctly, but Scite does seem to like your version better, so I'll switch over.

@joedf: I always use the % "string" syntax for strings. For one it helps me keep track of what is a string and what isn't, for two it lets me use variables in a way that feels more natural, and for three (and most importantly) it bugs the heck out of me that N++ (and Scite for that matter) try to colorize strings like they were commands if you don't enclose them in quotes.

i see...

I've just uploaded the lexers (syntax highlighters) that I've been using for the last few months.

AutoHotkey lexers for Scintillua + SciTE4AutoHotkey

AutoHotkey v1 and v2 are supported. A Lua script is included to automatically switch lexers when a "v2" platform is selected. Both lexers almost fully support the unique syntax of each command.

Caveats:

• Continuation sections are given a single flat style. This is to avoid inaccurate/misleading styling, because styling code within a continuation section accurately seems to be impossible with Scintillua. (The best I could achieve was styling which broke as soon as you edit a line near or in the section, and even that was complicated.)
• Continuation lines may be styled as though they are standalone expressions. This is a problem, for instance, if you spread the parameter list of a command across multiple lines.
• So-called "keywords" in strings are not highlighted, by design. (If a keyword is highlighted, it had better actually mean something in that context. Although it would be possible to highlight keywords such as sub-commands only in-context, it would further complicate the grammar.)
• It's memory-hungry.

how can i remove the annoying update required text (for run button)

Sometime ago i added your DebugVars to my Scite4AutoHotkey, and now i also added the new lexers. So i want to say thanks for these nice and useful Additions.

you may want to include a test file as fincs did (but his was woefully lacking)

RaptorX created a fairly thorough test file when he originally wrote a lexer to be used for NP++. i've forked it and added a few changes. you can get it here:

https://github.com/mmikeww/LexAHKL/blob ... 20Test.txt

maybe its better for you to host the definitive test file since you're more familiar with all allowable syntax and all variables/commands/func names

i was just updating Vim's syntax highlighter recently thats why i was working on this

Hi
I am looking for an older version of Scite that would run on my old Toshiba with Windows XP. (Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3).
When I try to install the latest version of Scite (Installer) It starts, but it just shows me the initial page without any content and stays there forever.

I know that XP is old and not supported, but I have an AHK app that works well on vista and Windows 10, but his behaving strangely on XP and the only way I can see to debug it is to have Scite on the XP.

Thanks for your help.

Is there a plug in for SciTE4AHK that gives a function browser? I've got something now that is like 1700 lines of code and its getting hard to navigate it. I like the way AHK Studio does it, but was getting too many bugs when using that. I've tried breaking my code out into some includes, but ran into a lot of problems when trying to debug it that way.

It's built-in. Press F12.

Is it really built-in or is it a plugin?

--EDIT---

Found it - its a AHK-Plugin to Scite4Autohotkey: it's a customized version of TillaGoto

Alternative to TillaGoto is AryanGoto from here: https://github.com/aviaryan/autohotkey- ... s/GoTo.ahk

Another Alternative to TillaGoto is GotoTilla by BudRich. I once expanded it, to support even class properties ...
As I checked my mentioned script - it's as well not suited for Scite4AHK, as the editor needs to provide Control-G goto functionality and the complete filepath in windows-title

It's a built-in plug-in. Point is, he doesn't have to go get it. It comes with the standard Scite4AutoHotkey installation.

I don't believe the version by Aryan will work with Scite4AHK. It's for editors that have a control-G "Goto" function as his comments state.
