no edit script option

[sbrady19]

I am moving to a new PC at work.
current PC has AHK v1.1.27.7
new PC has v1.1.30.0

AHK on my new PC does not give me an EDIT SCRIPT option when I right click. I can choose open with Notepad and I can edit. Why did this go away. Thanks for any insight.

It seems that you're missing the registry keys required to display these options.

Try reinstalling AutoHotkey using the official installer.

I'm including the registry values from my PC below (Save as AutoHotkeyScript.reg & run it):

Ensure that the executable locations match on your computer first...

Code: Select all
