AutoHotKey script editing tools (contextual help, reload)

[jesus2099]

If you edit AHK scripts, you surely have already installed the AutoHotKey script syntax file.
Here are some additional tools. Each one is a macro that I suggest to associate with a keyboard shortcut key in your EmEdit AHK configuration properties (ALT+ENTER).

CONTEXTUAL HELP (F1)

When editing an .ahk (AutoHotKey script file — don’t forget to get btw), here is a macro that will open AutoHotkey.chm help file on the appropriate page.
The macro itself is very simple but it requires that you have KeyHH 1.1

if(document.selection.isEmpty)document.selection.selectWord();
(new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell")).run("\"c:/program files/dos/keyhh.exe\" -ahkchm -#klink \""+document.selection.text+"\" c:/program files/autohotkey/autohotkey/autohotkey.chm");

Adapt with your path for keyhh.exe and autohotkey.chm.

RELOAD (CTRL+R)

(new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell")).run("\"c:/program files/autohotkey/autohotkeyu64.exe\" /r");

Adapt with your path for autohotkeyu64.exe (yours could be autohotkey.exe for instance) .

for what it’s worth, here’s the AHK forum c/w topic.
