AutoHotkey Language for Jetbrains

[MTRNord]

Hi, I started to work on AHK and was kind of bothered by the missing Jetbrains Plugin.

Therefore I announce a small Plugin. It is only a few days old, which means that it probably still has all kind of bugs.

Feel free to try it and report bugs and whiches or help by contributing to it.

I'm sure a ton of people would appreciate this being fleshed out.

In the meantime anyone looking for basic autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and code folding in IntelliJ can use this file type configuration I made for AutoHotKey v2:

AutoHotkey.xml

Place in C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea{version}\filetypes

Here's a preview of the syntax highlighting:

Autocomplete for built in variables, functions, and objects is keyword-based, so no parameter hints. Still nice to have though

Once it's imported you can configure it: File > Settings > Editor > File Types > AutoHotkey

amazing! Hopefully you keep updating this with error checking and debugging. <3

@swizzlefoshizzle

I'm using the built in Darcula theme. I don't remember changing anything but I can share my color scheme file if mine looks different

Darcula is in Settings > Editor > Color Scheme:

I would love so much if this plugin was updated to include proper AHK V1 syntax highlighting. I just the V2 code from above but it is built for V2, so it doesn't really do everything you would want for V1 (most stuff though so thank you so much for that). I really want to use JetBrains over VSCode but it's super hard right now with this being so long in the tooth. Is there anything we can do to help you? Fund it or anything?

Here is the JetBrains resource page for learning how custom language plugins are developed for IntelliJ.

I felt the same way and a few months ago began learning this myself, but unfortunately I don't have the time these days to meaningfully contribute to OP's repo.

Here is a version that works a little better for v1.1

I had some issues with just dropping the file in %AppData%\JetBrains\IdeaIC2023.3\filetypes\
But you can also customize/create the file type here:

Adding new keywords or moving them between those 4 groups will change their color coding.
And the colors themselves can be customized here, although other file types might be using those groups as well:
