I don't think so, but I could create the thing you want probably.

Not sure if this is the right place to make a feature request, but here goes...

Would it be possible to allow opening multiple SciTe windows?
This would allow the user to see different scripts side by side. In Notepad++, you can do this by "dragging" the tabs of various scripts along the top of the window.
This would also allow the user to be in multiple places within a single script. In Notepad++, you can do this by right clicking a script's tab and selecting "Open in new instance".

I think this could potentially add a lot of value to SciTe4AutoHotkey.

By adding the following to your SciTEUser.properties file, you can have SciTE open multiple times by clciking Control+Shift+N

# Open multiple instances
command.name.17.*=Open in New Window
command.mode.17.*=subsystem:2
command.shortcut.17.*=Ctrl+Shift+N
command.17.*="$(SciteDefaultHome)\SciTE.exe" -check.if.already.open=0 -save.session=0 "$(FilePath)"

Wow Joe, thanks a bunch man! That's some good stuff. And like you said, well annotated. I just got a ton of enhanced functionality. Love the fact that it underlines duplicate words when you're on a specific word or have it selected. Cooool! Is there a SciTe help file somewhere I've never seen where I can read up about the various options?

I had to change the font down a bit, it was too big.

Also, the following part didn't seem to be working correctly. If I start with my first window either a) snapped to left side of screen and so full height, or b) not snapped, but sized to be approximately half the screen x full height, in both cases, the second window just opens up in what seems like a default width x height over top of the other window. How could I try to change this to make it work per the annotation?

Code: Select all

#~ If there is another copy of SciTE open, set the initial window position to be with the left side at position.left + position.width so that most of the time you can see both copies at once without overlap. Works nicely if position.left set to 0 and position.width set to half of the screen width.

I need to relocate the Profile folder (currently @ My Documents\AutoHotkey\SciTE\). A quick check of the 'properties' files and Registry didn't show anything. In the virtual environment I'm working in it's necessary to use the Installer (vs. Portable) version, but Junctions (Symbolic Links) can't be used. I'm hoping the link's not hardcoded...

I would try setting the SciTE_HOME environment variable, and also moving the global properties files to the same directory.

If that doesn't work, I would try converting the installed version to "portable" by adding a file named $PORTABLE to the same directory as the SciTE executable. I suppose that mightn't be an option, depending on why you need to use the installer version.

Hi Fincs,

I have 3 comments about SciTE

1) Every time I install SciTE it resets the settings, for instance to not create .bak files. I don't want to restore the old properties files in case there are settings that have been added or changed. Would it be possible to have it try to import the old settings into the newly installed settings files?
Also, just out of curiosity, what's the difference between the settings files created in the SciTE install folder and those created in My Documents\AutoHotkey\SciTE ?
On a related note, it appears the "make.backup" setting is in the file SciTE\newuser\_config.properties which says "THIS FILE IS SCRIPT-GENERATED - DON'T TOUCH". If I don't want .bak files should I edit that?

2) In the new version, if you have the search bar open but have the Scintilla control focused, and you switch windows and then return to SciTE, focus returns to the search bar. Wouldn't it make more sense if focus was kept where it was left?

3) About the toolbar and not SciTE itself - if you open SciTE and then close it again quickly you are liable to get an error message from Autorun.ahk: either the AutoHotkey-generated error dialogs "Bad SciTE Window!" or something about the toolbar interface not found (unable to reproduce it at the moment), or the AutoHotkey errors SendMessage FAIL line 18 or object invoked has disconnected line 19. I think preventing those dialogs from displaying would be an adequate response.

Thanks! Awesome software I use it every day :)

1) You should NOT edit the S4AHK program files for several reasons, one of them being indeed the fact that they are overwritten every single time you update the program. The following warning message is present in all global property files:
Do NOT edit this file! If there is someting here you want to change, go to Options > Open User properties, copy the setting there and change it. If you instead want to delete a setting, just write an analogous line in the User properties that sets it to blank.
The files at newuser are the template folder that is copied to My Documents\AutoHotkey\SciTE when a user first opens S4AHK.
Sidenote: in order to disable backups, go to Tools > SciTE4AutoHotkey settings, untick 'Auto-backups' and click Update.

2) No idea, I haven't modified that part.

3) It'd be nice if you managed to reliably reproduce this issue (it's been reported by other users). I've never been able to reproduce it.

Thanks for your input. The environment variable approach almost works, but whatever writes to 'My Doc~\Auto~\SciTE\_platform.properties' ignores the redirection.

So, on to the portable approach. It's only an issue because of the way the virtual image's built...

I successfully created a "SciTE_HOME" variable and moved my properties files to a new location (which is under DropBox- I have 4 computers I work on frequently so now my user.properties file will be synced across all of them.

There are two things that I had to play with:
1) move EVERYTHING that was in my SciTE folder under the old "my documents" section to the new location. (This way all Finc's hard work for AutoHotKey can still be used)
2) change my import commands to be relative to the new location. for instance- all of my properties files I install are located in a sub-folder under my new location. here is how I call the import files now:
  • import Properties\html
    import Properties\sql
    import Properties\python
    import Properties\spss
    import _platform
    import _config
    import xml
Thanks again for your help Fincs! I love SciTE and this just made it much easier for me to keep things up to date across all my computers. :D

Adjust the path if you installed elsewhere.

I also change the label to include the e shortcut so I don't have to click the menu entry (my context menu looks like something by Tolstoy).

Thank you Dougal,

I actually had and still have this entrys in my registry.
The problem was, that I renamed my old installation folder to SciTE_3.0.05.1 and during installation of the new version I've deceided to install in a folder called SciTE_3.0.06..
In registry the path was the correct one with 3.0.06 in it but wasn't working.
Renamed installation folder to be only "SciTE", changed path in registry, et voila, the edit option appears in RightClickMenue as usual :)

Strange, as right click context entries don't care if the command target exists until you select them. So you should have had the Edit option present, but it might not have done anything when selected if the command was malformed. You didn't use any environment variables in the path did you?

After renaming my SciTE folder to SciTE 3.0.0.6 and changing the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoHotkeyScript\Shell\Edit\Command default value to "C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\SciTE 3.0.0.6\SciTE.exe" "%1", my context menu still includes Edit Script, and script opens in SciTE. Only reason I know for it not working is missing double quotes around the exe name or the parameter, but you would still have the context menu entry.

My entry is Edit Script because of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoHotkeyScript\Shell\Edit default value (I want to differentiate between multiple editors), yours should have shown as Edit.

Your programm successfully deleted everything from the installed folder. I had it installed to a directoy, and when i updated it, it WIPED EVERYTHING from the folder. I LOST EVERYTHING.

I can't even recover the files with recuva.....

damn, forum logged me out during answering your post.. I repeat in short form:

I had exactly those two entries like you said in your first post, well formed cause installer made them, no path variables. The only difference to your test was the underscore which was also the problem, seems that windows can't handle it properly. I actually tested it. So try to avoid underscores in such cases :) .. but for me it shows up as a new option in "open with" and opens the script in S4AHK, not "edit script". But this is ok for me.

thank you again

Thanks, learn something everyday. Who da thought underscore would be issue, normally safe in paths, and never heard of having to escape it. I will have to try it out.

Edit: I just tested with underscore and still works for me. I changed SciTE.exe folder to C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\SciTE_3.0.06, default value for registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoHotkeyScript\Shell\Edit\Command is "C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\SciTE_3.0.06\SciTE.exe" "%1", and right click select Edit Script opens it in SciTE. Very strange that it didn't work for you.

Cheers

Does Scite4Autohotkey lack .RawRead and .RawWrite?
