Setup Notepad++ for AutoHotkey

[Bruttosozialprodukt]

Thank you.

It's definitely the font, I had the same issue until I adjusted my font to Source Code Pro.

OP, thanks! I've been using this for a little over a day now. Very helpful. However I went in to change all of the font families to the standard... don't like custom fonts or sizes, just want the color formatting.

Added: Notepad++ as default Editor for AutoHotkey.ahk files (rightclick => Edit Script)

Great post, the highlight was great, thanks for the work.

but just got a little problem --- can't display the parameter hint
im using win10 x64, npp 6.8.8
i can get the highlight and funtion Auto-Completion, but no parameter hint

i've tried both default & lazy theme, even the older portable version you uploaded(npp.6.5.bin.zip), but can never get the parameter hint
however, the parameter hint for built-in languages works, like for C++

i dont know where the problem can be, please help, thanks

Confirm this works for Windows 10 X 64 to make notpad++ as default editor for AHK files.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoHotkeyScript\Shell\Edit\Command

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "%1"

Just to add some info : it works only if you use the installer, if you do not have the defaut regkey it won't work if you manualy add the missing keys.
Don't know why...

Great theme, I use it every time I code something for AHK. But there seems to be a bug: an ampersand (&) is not shown in Notepad++, however it is added. If I open the file in, say, notepad.exe it is shown correctly. I use Notepad++ 6.9.1 (the current version).

Have you installed the font?

[jNizM]

I kick the font out of the udf's and hope dropbox stops the 429 Error for me ^^

If you found missing commands in the highlights, report here. thx =)

[menteith]

I will install the font and let you know if it works or not

my opera browser dont wont to open the Preview pictures. Seems this is not a save Webspace provider.

[menteith]

What type of font should I install? There are many (Regular, Bold etc.) and when I install one type and want to install another I get a message that says the font has been already installed.

EDIT: I figured it out. I can recommend also Hack font.

It's just DropBox. Dunno why they block it.

Update:
- Moved to GitHub (ahk_notepad-plus-plus)
- Edit first post

[HinkerLoden]

is it no easier to install the plugin with the Plugin Manager. the startpost is a bit ago. A complete workaround would be nice.

[jNizM]

Not all Plug-In's are available throw the PlugIn-Manager. But I updated Plugin posts in first post.

[HinkerLoden]

I was really going crazy. I want to add a new style and nothing happens. First the update to the version v.6.9.1 added the style correct.
I created a new Syntax-Highlightning file based on the Lazy one. But i completely redesigned it to a eye friendly dark background and i try to pick colours that not bite each other.

I'm usually not a fan of dark themes, but that looks pretty neat. I might give it a try.
