;;; ahk-mode.el --- major mode for editing AutoHotKey scripts for X/GNU Emacs


;; Copyright (C) 2005 Robert Widhopf-Fenk

;; Addendum 2009: Hacked to play nicely with other modes.
;; Fixed setting of global variables that should be local instead.

;;; Commentary:
;;
;; AutoHotKey: Automation, Hotkeys and Scripting for Windows at
;; http://www.autohotkey.com/ is a cool tool to make daily life
;; with Windows easier or even fun!
;;
;; This is a X/GNU Emacs mode for editing AutoHotKey scripts.
;;
;; Place this file somewhere in your load-path, byte-compile it and add the
;; following line to your ~/.xemacs/init.el resp. ~/.emacs:
;;
;; (setq ahk-syntax-directory "PATHTO/AutoHotkey/Extras/Editors/Syntax/")
;; (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ahk$" . ahk-mode))
;; (autoload 'ahk-mode "ahk-mode")
;; 
;; The first time ahk-mode.el is started it will ask you for the path to the
;; Syntax directory if not set already.  You will find it as a subdirectory
;; of your AHK installation.
;;
;; For example if you installed AHK at C:\Programms\AutoHotKey it will be
;; C:/Programms/AutoHotKey/Extras/Editors/Syntax or a corresponding cygwin
;; path!
;;
;; When opening a script file you will get:
;; - syntax highlighting
;; - indention, completion and command help (bound to "TAB")
;; - insertion of command templates (bound to "C-c C-i") 
;; - electric braces (typing "{" will also insert "}" and place point in
;;   between) 
;; - lookup the docs on a command via w3 (place point on command and type
;;   "C-c C-h")
;;
;; Please send bug-reports or feature suggestions to hackATrobfDOTde.

;;; Bugs:
;;
;; - completions is not really context aware
;; - multi-line comments are not fontified correctly while editing,
;;   but only when fontifying the whole buffer.  If you know how to
;;   fix this, please let me know!

;;; History:
;;
;; The CHANGELOG is stored in my arch repository.
;;
;; If you wonder what arch is, take a look at http://wiki.gnuarch.org/ !

Your version seems to be based on "Version: $Id: ahk-mode--main--1.0--patch-4$" but there is a "patch-13" at the original site.
http://www.robf.de/Hacking/elisp/ahk-mode.el
Is there are reason why you did not modify patch-13?

No, I chose what seemed to be the most recent version.
If I find the time, I'll rebase the patch to version 1.0--patch-13.

Hi again, I took the trouble to create a git-based repo from the original author's repo. Check it out on github as piyo/emacs-ahk-mode http://github.com/piyo/emacs-ahk-mode and fork as needed. I don't know which commit is patch-4 though. The last commit seems to be patch-13 so it's the latest. :)
