; IntelliSense -- by Rajat (requires XP/2k/NT) ; http://www.autohotkey.com ; This script watches while you edit an AutoHotkey script. When it sees you ; type a command followed by a comma or space, it displays that command's ; parameter list to guide you. In addition, you can press Ctrl+F1 (or ; another hotkey of your choice) to display that command's page in the help ; file. To dismiss the parameter list, press Escape or Enter. ; Requires v1.0.25.0+ ; CONFIGURATION SECTION: Customize the script with the following variables. ; The hotkey below is pressed to display the current command's page in the ; help file: I_HelpHotkey = ^F1 ; The string below must exist somewhere in the active window's title for ; IntelliSense to be in effect while you're typing. Make it blank to have ; IntelliSense operate in all windows. Make it Pad to have it operate in ; editors such as Metapad, Notepad, and Textpad. Make it .ahk to have it ; operate only when a .ahk file is open in Notepad, Metapad, etc. I_Editor = pad ; If you wish to have a different icon for this script to distinguish it from ; other scripts in the tray, provide the filename below (leave blank to have ; no icon). For example: E:\stuff\Pics\icons\GeoIcons\Information.ico I_Icon = ; END OF CONFIGURATION SECTION (do not make changes below this point unless ; you want to change the basic functionality of the script).
