Question

I am using UltraEdit for writing/editing my AutoHotkey scripts. To enjoy of syntax highlighting for AutoHotkey scripts in UltraEdit I have installed "Run this to install syntax highlighting for UltraEdit.ahk" which comes together with AutoHotkey installation. The issue is that I don't like the way 'comments' and 'strings' are formatted in Italic.

How do you change format and AutoHotkey syntax highlighting for UltraEdit; particularly for 'comments' and 'strings' so that they are shown in Normal font style (non-italic) ?

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

Change the colors in UltraEdit (scroll down to "Manage Themes - Syntax") :
http://www.ultraedit.com/help/article/manage-themes-5320.html

from the mentioned script:

SyntaxFileNameList = CommandNames|Keywords|Variables|Functions|Keys|Operators|Separators|Special
;Default colors in UE:  blue     |red     |orange   |green    |brown|blue    |blue      |blue

OTHER TIPS

Thanks to Joe DF for providing this useful link : Manage Themes for UltraEdit

To change font style for the theme elements (e.g. Comments or Strings), open Manage Themes window through the menu : View -> Themes -> Manage Themes... On the tap page Syntax you can change color and font style for each theme element.

P.S. I am using UltraEdit v21; however you should find window Manage Themes easily if you have the older versions.
