Autohotkey has been added to the list of languages the forum knows how to color syntax highlight in posts.

To highlight code for a language, select the text and then choose the language from the "Code Highlighting" drop down combo box, on the Post form.

ps. thanks to dc member ewemoa for getting me to update to latest version of geshi that supports ahk; huge thanks to the geshi open source project.

Is there any way we can adjust the colours used for that AHK highlighter?  I much prefer the colours used for the AutoIt highlighter.

I'm comparing GeSHi's autoit.php with autohotkey.php:

autoit.php
Formatted for PHP with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
  1.        'KEYWORDS' => array(
  2.             1 => 'color: #0000FF; font-weight: bold;',
  3.             2 => 'color: #800000; font-weight: bold;',
  4.             3 => 'color: #000080; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;',
  5.             4 => 'color: #0080FF; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;',
  6.             5 => 'color: #F000FF; font-style: italic;',
  7.             6 => 'color: #A00FF0; font-style: italic;'
  8.             ),
  9.         'COMMENTS' => array(
  10.             'MULTI' => 'font-style: italic; color: #669900;',
  11.             0 => 'font-style: italic; color: #009933;',

  13.             ),
  14.         'ESCAPE_CHAR' => array(

  16.             ),
  17.         'BRACKETS' => array(
  18.             0 => 'color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold;'
  19.             ),
  20.         'STRINGS' => array(

  22.             ),
  23.         'NUMBERS' => array(
  24.             0 => 'color: #AC00A9; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;'
  25.             ),
  26.         'METHODS' => array(
  27.             1 => 'color: #0000FF; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;'
  28.             ),
  29.         'SYMBOLS' => array(
  30.             0 => 'color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold;'
  31.             ),
  32.         'REGEXPS' => array(
  33.             0 => 'font-weight: bold; color: #AA0000;'
  34.             ),

autohotkey.php
Formatted for PHP with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
  1.        'KEYWORDS' => array(
  2.             1 => 'color: #AAAAFF; font-weight: bold;',       // reserved #blue
  3.             2 => 'color: #88FF88;',                         // BIV yellow
  4.             3 => 'color: #FF00FF; font-style: italic;',       // commands purple

  9.             8 => 'color: #000000; font-style: italic;'      // gui controls
  10.             ),
  11.         'COMMENTS' => array(
  12.             'MULTI' => 'font-style: italic; color: #669900;',
  13.             1 => 'font-style: italic; color: #009933;'
  14.             ),
  15.         'ESCAPE_CHAR' => array(
  16.             0 => ''
  17.             ),
  18.         'BRACKETS' => array(
  19.             0 => 'color: #00FF00; font-weight: bold;'
  20.             ),
  21.         'STRINGS' => array(
  22.             0 => 'font-weight: bold; color: #008080;'
  23.             ),
  24.         'NUMBERS' => array(
  25.             0 => 'color: #0000dd;'
  26.             ),
  27.         'METHODS' => array(
  28.             1 => 'color: #0000FF; font-style: italic; font-weight: italic;'
  29.             ),
  30.         'SYMBOLS' => array(
  31.             0 => 'color: #000000; font-weight: italic;'
  32.             ),
  33.         'REGEXPS' => array(
  34.             0 => 'font-weight: italic; color: #A00A0;',
  35.             1 => 'color: #CC0000; font-style: italic;',
  36.             2 => 'color: #DD0000; font-style: italic;',
  37.             3 => 'color: #88FF88;'
  38.             ),

Perhaps the following would work as a change:

Formatted for PHP with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
  1.        'KEYWORDS' => array(
  2.             1 => 'color: #0000FF; font-weight: bold;', // reserved
  3.             2 => 'color: #800000; font-weight: bold;', // BIV
  4.             3 => 'color: #000080; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;', // commands
  5.             4 => 'color: #0080FF; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;', // functions
  6.             5 => 'color: #F000FF; font-style: italic;', // directives
  7.             6 => 'color: #FF0000; font-style: italic;', // hotkeys #red
  8.             7 => 'color: #000000; font-style: italic;', // gui commands #black
  9.             8 => 'color: #000000; font-style: italic;'  // gui controls
  10.             ),
  11.         'COMMENTS' => array(
  12.             'MULTI' => 'font-style: italic; color: #669900;',
  13.             1 => 'font-style: italic; color: #009933;'
  14.             ),
  15.         'ESCAPE_CHAR' => array(
  16.             0 => ''
  17.             ),
  18.         'BRACKETS' => array(
  19.             0 => 'color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold;'
  20.             ),
  21.         'STRINGS' => array(
  22.             0 => 'font-weight: bold; color: #9977BB;'
  23.             ),
  24.         'NUMBERS' => array(
  25.             0 => 'color: #AC00A9; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;'
  26.             ),
  27.         'METHODS' => array(
  28.             1 => 'color: #0000FF; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;'
  29.             ),
  30.         'SYMBOLS' => array(
  31.             0 => 'color: #FF0000; font-weight: italic;'
  32.             ),
  33.         'REGEXPS' => array(
  34.             0 => 'font-weight: italic; color: #A00A0;',
  35.             1 => 'color: #CC0000; font-style: italic;',
  36.             2 => 'color: #DD0000; font-style: italic;',
  37.             3 => 'color: #88FF88;'
  38.             ),

It looks like autohotkey.php groups 'while', 'if', 'else', and 'return' separately from commands though they are listed as commands in the AHK docs.

Also, autohotkey.php doesn't appear to mention 'static', 'global', 'local', or 'ByRef'.

Perhaps it's worth checking out the content of Extras\Editors\Syntax\...

Here are some sample shots:







Note: colors were not the only things changed -- some additions (e.g. global, local, etc were missing) and deletions (e.g. there was both a While and a while, so I removed the latter -- and similar things) were made too.  Perhaps discussion with the author of autohotkey.php might be worthwhile...

i've got some kind of autohotkey syntax highlighting currently working in Notepad++ but it doesn't look like the image above. it must have been from a different ahk forum thread, so i'll try the one you've mentioned, lanux128.

i'm almost happy with the one i'm using but it doesn't appear to know when to colour match curly braces { }.

thanks, ewemoa. do you use Notepad++ as well? for editors with well formed syntax highlighters, one could try SciTE4AutoHotkey, PSPad or Notepad2 but NPP is slowly getting there.. smiley


@nudone: this is a newer version, tweaked by the uploader from that thread because as he put it, "I am a notepad++ user and was totally disappointed with the userDefined.xml lexer because it has certain limitations that the user cant overcome, and on top of that adding a language is a pain."  you should try it.. smiley

thanks, ewemoa. do you use Notepad++ as well?
What comes to mind at the moment, concerning my Notepad++ usage is:

  • Replacing across multiple files via regular expressions
  • Quick view of a file

Thanks for the SciTE4AutoHotkey link!  When I looked this time, I spotted the portable version, so may be I will give it a try.  Somehow I had the impression that there wasn't a portable version so I had not tried it before.  Reminds me of the potential value of continuing to check for some things -- things change, and things can be missed Wink

I have tried PSPad and Notepad2 as well.  The former I had various difficulties with so when Notepad++ appeared on the radar...The latter I didn't end up using enough to give a fair assessment.

Update: Saw the following text regarding the non-zip download for SciTE4AutoHotkey:

Quote
Despite being an installer, the installation can be portable (uncheck the default editor box).

Sounds nice  thumbs up

I have tried it now.  It looks quite interesting.


Update: Sorry, forgot to post some shots of the highlighting (below is what I got by default):







Now for some with the included psp style:
