Question

Is there a utility that helps writing the file used by AutoHotkey?

I am just looking for something that helps me writing the script without to remember the syntax. I just started using AutoHotkey, and I have to read all the times the documentation to remember the syntax.

Sure, AutoScriptWriter is bundled with the tool and it will record your actions and create the script for you.

	Does it work also when I want to replace a string with another one? Most of the hot keys I use are triggered by a string I write, and that it's replaced when I press the space bar. – kiamlaluno Aug 17 '10 at 19:17
	It will just record whatever actions you do and you can always modify the script it creates afterwards. It has worked well for me. Give it a try and see if that is what you are looking for. – grm Aug 18 '10 at 4:55

Notepad!

But seriously, what are you looking for? Syntax highlighting? A cursory search indicates plugins are available for Eclipse and vim.

This is an answer due to low reputation.
