People on the Forum started looking at many editors to see which one was the most useful editor for AutoIt3.
We found SciTE and saw its potential so I wrote a customized Lexer for the Syntax Highlighting and Syntax folding and created a special installer called SciTE4AutoIt3.

The "Package" grew to what it is today with lots of integrated utilities written by AutoIt3 community.

When making changes to SciTE settings, it is best to do this in the "User Option File" because the installation of a new version will override the settings of the SciteGlobal.properties and Au3.properties files. Items you might want to change are Color settings and Font type and/or size.

Main features:

- Customized Syntax highlighting.
- AutoComplete AutoIt3 commands automatically (suggest the option in a dropdownbox while typing), just hit ENTER or TAB to Autocomplete.)
- AutoComplete anything already in the script, like variable and Func names, with Ctrl+Enter.
- Intellisense (Show a ToolTip with the parameter expected in the selected function).
- Code folding for easy code viewing.
- Auto indentation while typing.
- F1 - open Helpfile on the keyword were the cursor is located.
- Alt+F1 - open the Beta Helpfile on the keyword were the cursor is located.
- Shift+F1 will bring up a Popup screen showing all AutoIt3 functions. Just Double-Click or Enter on the function you need and it will be pasted back into your script. It Also has a dynamic Help facility!
