Help doesn't start?


Recommended Posts

After uninstalling and reinstalling AutoIt, help doesn't start from pressing F1. It doesn't do anything when I press F1. The help file is there and I can go and open it directly, however, it doesn't open using F1, besides not going straight to the command I have selected in the editor.

I've looked through the configuration files and don't find where that's configured.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling again, without success.

Thanks

Shastaman,

Have you saved the code you are wrking on as an .au3 file? None of the fancy AutoIt bits in SciTE work unless you are working on a saved .au3 file. :mellow:

The suggested solution does not resolve the problem.

The problem is I start SciTe, open an AU3 file, highlight an AutoIT command, and press F1, but nothing happens. I want AutoIt help to start and go to the command highlighted.

I'm trying to find how where and how to configure “press F1 and AutoIt help starts”.

I seem to recall that it only works with the full version of Scite installed.

Question about decompiling code? Read the decompiling FAQ and don't bother posting the question in the forums.

Be sure to read and follow the forum rules. -AKA the AutoIt Reading and Comprehension Skills test.***

Here's one fix I've used in making Scite semi-portable. It works on regular installations too:

Open this file in your AutoIt folder:

AutoIt3\SciTE\Properties\au3.properties

Go to this line:

command.help.$(au3)=$(autoit3dir)\Autoit3Help.exe "$(CurrentWord)"

Change it to:

command.help.$(au3)="$(SciteDefaultHome)\..\Autoit3Help.exe" "$(CurrentWord)"

Note you can save the previous setting by putting a "#~ " in front
