AHK Studio question: What is Scintilla?
I guess it's a type of programming code, other than AHK -- Yes? Scintilla is barely even mentioned in the AutoHotkey documentation. So why is it so prominent in AHK Studio? Just curious.

Scintilla is an open source C++ library: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintilla_(software) ; and is used as a component in many editors, among them are AHK Studio and Scite4AHK, afaik.
There is no exclusive or special connection to AHK - or AHK Studio, though. But it seems quite useful for creating an editor...

Yea, I thought that the "Sci" in SciTE was also Scintilla.

It is also a library that powers the Notepad ++ editor. Text highlighting is used by all IDE / editors written with Autohotkey as it has rich features like text coloring. there is also a RichEdit class by just me that allows some text formatting but RichEdit is windows weak and dead technology, very slow for large documents. Scintilla is very powerful and incredibly performance.
