SciTE4AutoHotkey v3.0.06.01 [Updated October 12 2014]

Toolbar buttons for TIllaGoto: Forward and Back??

I'd like to have two buttons on my SciTE4Autohotkey toolbar that will map to the TiallGoto Back and Forward commands (alt+left and alt+right, respectively). Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for any help!

Every time I run SciTE it gives me two dialog boxes: the first says "Welcome to SciTE4AutoHotkey!" and once I close this dialog it displays a new one saying "Can't find user properties file!" It also opens a file "TestSuite.ahk" every time I run SciTE.

This is driving me crazy, I've uninstalled both scite and ahk several times, reinstalled to different locations, same result, nothing works. The thing is it was working perfectly on this and 2 other computers and all of a sudden I get this error (only on this pc, the other two work as usual).

Any help would be much appreciated.

I've had this happen before but, sadly, I don't recall waht the cure was. I'd look for SciTE in your registry and consider deleting it there, then re-installing

[gonzax]

I did, still the same problem and it's driving me nuts!!

I remember years ago I had this same problem or something similar, it always said there was an update when there wasnt. The problem is I don't remember what I did back then to solve it and nothing I do now makes any difference. I've uninstalled ahk and scite and nothing works.

Maybe some W10 update did something, I don't know, but the other computers are running W10 too and are working fine.

I tried copying over my user properties file from another pc but it does nothing, I get the same error.

PS: I also realised that I used to have Scite's settings in a folder inside MyDocuments\autohotkey, at least that's how it is on my other pc but I don't have that folder anymore here and reinstalling Scite won't create one.

W10 64bits
Scite Version 3.0.06.01 - Based on SciTE 3.5.1
Built on Oct 12 2014 13:40:05
AutoHotkey_1.1.30.01 32bits

what happens when running the "portable" zip version?

what happens when running the "portable" zip version?

I just tried and that one works as it should, no errors or anything.
Should I unzip the portable version where the normal version is?

Edit: I unzipped the contents, now Scite opens without errors and scripts run fine, which is already much better than what I had. The only problem I see is I can't change any options if I go to Tools (zoom, style, etc won't update). If I run the portable version on its own from another folder it works but not from AHK's installation folder.

[gonzax]

Ok, I solved the problem, it was all to do with windows permissions, I guess some stupid W10 update reverted the permissions and that's why it wasn't working, I gave the USER folder inside Scite full control and now Tools works agagin.

I still don't know why Scite does not work correctly without unzipping the portable version's contents first. If anybody knows please let me know, just out of curiosity.

By the way, thanks a lot Joedf, I couldn't have made it work without your suggestion.

Glad it worked out

Hi,

I would like to see #warn All, StdOut send its output to the SciTE4Autohotkey output pane. Is there a way to configure it?

The #warn doc says:

StdOut [v1.1.04+]: Send a description of the warning to stdout (the program's standard output stream), along with the filename and line number. This allows fancy editors such as SciTE to capture warnings without disrupting the script - the user can later jump to each offending line via the editor's output pane.

Thanks,

Jean

I've managed to get this working in the past, but it involved changing the subsystem code in AutoHotkey.exe
Maybe try this?

Thank you for the suggestion, JoeDF, but I will look at that.

On another topic, I see that some new functions in AHK (like StrReplace) are not supported by the color highlighting in SciTE4Autohotkey. Is there a config file that need to be updated for these changes?

[joedf]

Assuming there no major updates needed to the lexer, I think you can modify ahk.keywords.properties

Done that. I added strreplace and strsplit. There are probably other new functions but those are the one I use reguralery (since StringSplit and StringReplace are now deprecated.
