While this mod is active I can't set breakpoints anymore. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

sorry- there should be -- in front of ***Autoclose begin. I've updated it above. :oops:

Hi, I did that, and get this error: [code]C:\Users\ZCM\Documents\AutoHotkey\SciTE/UserLuaScript.lua:7: unexpected symbol near '*'
>Lua: error occurred while loading startup script
[/code]

UserLuaScript.lua looks like this:

[code]-- UserLuaScript.lua
-- =================

-- This file contains user-defined Lua functions
-- You are encouraged to add your own custom functions here!

-- ***AutoClose Begin***
dofile(props['SciteUserHome'].."/Class.lua")
dofile(props['SciteUserHome'].."/Common.lua")
dofile(props['SciteUserHome'].."/AutoCloseBraces.lua")
EventClass:BeginEvents() -- Start up the events (Calls onstartup()).
-- ***AutoClose END[/code]

[c]***AutoClose Begin***[/c] is line 7, which is the line of error. Any tips what I'm doing wrong??

Edit: Fixed, thanks Joe!

Nice share there Joe!

Here's what you need to do to try this:
1) Export these [url=http://the-automator.com/download/lua_files.zip]lua files[/url] into your SciTE home directory
2) Open your UserLuaScript.lua script and add the following lines (in this order)
[code]-- ***AutoClose Begin***
dofile(props['SciteUserHome'].."/Class.lua")
dofile(props['SciteUserHome'].."/Common.lua")
dofile(props['SciteUserHome'].."/AutoCloseBraces.lua")
EventClass:BeginEvents() -- Start up the events (Calls onstartup()).
-- ***AutoClose END[/code]
3) Restart SciTE

Just make it a nice patch-exe? :D

I started a new thread where I provide pre-built versions of [url=https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=34398&p=159117#p159117]Lexikos' version of Scite[/url].
It's still only a ZIP that you have to patch your scite folder with, but it is a more recent version than the one I posted before.
I have still not been able to work out how to modify the installer - I tried replacing the files in the installer (It's just a self-extracting zip) but no dice.
At some point I will try following the installer instructions to build a new one, but I suspect it may not work properly anyway, as I am not sure Lexikos' mods bump the version, so it may try "updating" as it does post-install now, which I guess would wreck everything.
@Lexikos, any thoughts? Also, is my method sound - eg is it OK to just copy source folder over Scite install and ignore instructions to build documentation, add GenDocs etc?

Type %var% with minimum key strokes ie key board shortcut for % %

How can I get %var% easily

Well I'm still stuck with the error. Any ideas?

Latest update...it's back to working again...not quite sure why or how... I'll keep you updated if something changes!

P.S. Unlike WalkerOfTheDay, I don't get any error messages.

[quote="fincs"]That is weird. Can you post here the full contents of the registry key HKLM\Software\SciTE4AutoHotkey (or HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\SciTE4AutoHotkey)? I have a feeling that the installation directory was incorrectly set.[/quote]

Here's what the registry HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\SciTE4AutoHotkey contains:

[quote="fincs"]When you open SciTE and it's broken, what is the full process command line of SciTE.exe? (You may have to tweak Task Manager's "Details" tab, by rightclicking on the ListView header, selecting "Select columns" and enabling "Command line").[/quote]

The Command line says:
"C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\SciTE\SciTe.exe" "C:\Users\[User]\Documents\..."
Of course, [User] is my username, and the rest of the line is the path to the opened .ahk file.

Hi fincs,

I think my toolbar 'exploded too'. Everytime I fire SciTE for the first time I get this
errormessage:

[attachment=0]SciTE4.JPG[/attachment]

And the strange thing is, it happens op two pc's !

After clicking OK, I can still use the software, I just lost some buttons like play / MsgBox Creator / Gui creator etc..

Any ideas ?
