Did you fix it? I also get an import fail from that btw.

I have another UDL file for AHK (import works). I'm not sure where I got it exactly, I think I made it a few years back. No guarantees it got all keywords etc. (In fact I just randomly spotted some missing.. which I added. Might be new-ish to AHK? But for sure there are more then). I haven't used AHK much lately. There might be an issue with some variable name coloring some times, IIRC (It seems mostly fine though). It's meant for a dark theme (Settings - Style Configurator).

AutoHotKey UDL for NPP

And here's my dark theme if you want (It's kind of a WIP, same as the UDL file..). It's just modified from NPP's "Black Board" theme. I haven't changed everything (I don't know what they are all for, mostly just default text, background, selection colors etc.).

Extract the file and place it in
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes
(Change to reflect your system ofc).
Select it from Notepad++ menu: Settings - Style Configurator - "Seletct theme" drop-down list.

My NPP dark theme atm
