IntelliSense -- by Rajat (requires XP/2k/NT)

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).
