My script is getting long and I'm trying to find a way for better readability. Is there a way to highlight a line when it finds:

Code: Select all

 #If WinActive(

Hmm, this is a good question, I've never thought about it, but after some research I've found a solution for the most part.. I couldn't figure out a way to match spaces so it either highlights a line with #if or with WinActive.

From the menu bar > Language > User Defined Language > Define your language...

This will open a new window, from here select AutoHotKey as your User Language, click Operators & Delimiters tab and in any available Delimiter style put this information in:

Open: #if
Escape: leave this blank
Close: ((EOL))

Click the styler button as well to change the background/foreground color

I haven't used myself, but there is an Enhance UDL lexer, described here https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/17134/enhance-udl-lexer/32, which could be of help.

this is odd. I already loaded the language and used your delimiter settings but no styling was applied to my script at all. any idea why?
