AutoHotkey v2 Help

[LAPIII]

I tried changing some settings and upon saving I got the following error message:

So I reopened AutoHotkey v2 Help, but as Administrator. My questions is:

Do I always need to run it as administrator in order to use it with settings that are not default?

Why not just try running as a standard user, and find out?

In order to save the settings, you need write access to the config file. You don't need write access if you are not creating or modifying the file.

You can have write access without being an administrator, after the file's permissions are modified (by an administrator).

I'm editing chm_config.js, trying to make the Selected tab to be Search, 3, and Color theme to be Dark, 1. It isn't working; once I save the file and then open AutoHotkey v2 Help then I see that no changes have been made. Do you know what I have been doing wrong?

[lexikos]

How would I? If you post the content of the file, I or someone else can check or test it.

@LAPIII this chm_config.js data works on my PC to make help start with tab "Search" focused and dark mode

Code: Select all

config = {
  "fontSize": 1,
  "clickTab": 2,
  "displaySidebar": true,
  "colorTheme": 1,
  "collapseQuickRef": 1
}

For anyone else reading this thread: to get to the page where the options file is generated click the cogwheel toolbar icon in in the AutoHotkey Help window. After picking settings there a popup ask permission to use ActiveX to save the file chm_config.js in the same folder as AutoHotkey.chm. Close help and start it again and the new settings should work.
