About SciTE4AutoIt3
Scite Text Editor For Mac Os
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 me and the AutoIt3 community.
Quote Neil Hodgson:'SciTE is a SCIntilla based Text Editor. Originally built to demonstrate Scintilla, it has grown to be a generally useful editor with facilities for building and running programs.'
SciTE4AutoIt3 contains SciTE, wrapped into a single installer with all needed configuration settings and lots of utility programs like AutoIt3Wrapper, SciTEConfig, Tidy, Au3Stripper etc to enhanced SciTE for use with AutoIt3.

I have tested this on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, 8 & 8.1 32bit & 64bit, and Windows 10. The packages are split in order to support respective platform runtimes. The shell extension installation is optional as part of the install process. Note this package is not associated with the official SciTE project, I am providing it as a convenient distribution.
Enjoy.
Custom Package Features
- Custom Global Properties
- line.margin.visible=1
- caret.line.back=#FFF600
- caret.line.back.alpha=50
- load.on.activate=1
- background.save.size=10000000
- My custom modification of the context menu from André Burgaud and Angelo Mandato
- Optional installation of the context menu fix
My Modifications to the Context Menu
As mentioned above, since releasing the installer for SciTE 2.22 I have modified the context menu from André Burgaud and Angelo Mandato for this package. The original context menu was simply 'Edit with SciTE', and while it was effective and easy it wasn't so great for us dual-screen users.
SciTE itself has a global option of 'check.if.already.open' which enables one to always open a new file into a new tab. The bad thing about this option is that when this is switched on, you can never open SciTE in a new window. So to open two files and sit them side-by-side or in individual screens when using multiple screens is impossible with that default option set. Couple that option with the context menu and you can only ever have open in tabs or (with the option switched off), open in new window.
I was never able to find a happy medium with the available options, so the only answer I could come up with was to make two context menu options with the choice of new tab or new window. The context menu looks like this when you right-click:
The respective options do exactly what they say and you now have full control. I didn't really like the idea of an extra context menu because I always liked the simplicity of the existing solution. This, however, was the only way I could think of to get the flexibility for opening files. I'm open to suggestions as to how this can be improved, so fire me an email.
What is SciTE?
SciTE, based on scintilla, is simply the best text and sourcecode editor out there. It is essentially an advanced replacement for notepad - something for coders, scripters, and even the average, non-technical user. It loads up pretty-much as fast as notepad which is a pretty good benchmark. Install it and throw away notepad and every other text editor you might have had the misfortune to install. It also handles huge files without crashing. Something other editors struggle with, especially if you need to work with large log files or similar. That was a showstopper for me when testing other editors - while they worked great, they simply failed on large files. I don't want one editor that's good with small files along with another that specialises in large files. I just want an editor. Simple.
SciTE is perfect as a:
- text editor
- log viewer
- html editor
- xml editor
- perl editor
- php editor
- code editor
- python editor
- many more

You can even customise properties files to handle languages not included with the package. It also works incredibly efficiently on huge files. No more crashes or lockups because the file is too big.
