I am sure that I saw them yesterday... don't know what happened today :o! I am using SciTE v3.6.6 which I believe is the latest version... Thanks in Advance!

TheDcoder,

That is not a .au3 file - so the "tools" are not shown.

Edit: Seems to be a popular answer - so it must be right, right?

No... I am not talking about the disabled items, I am talking about the tools like "SciTE Config"

Edit: I am not fast either

One thing I can understand for sure now, the extra tools won't show up for non-au3 files... I see a bug/feature ticket coming up :P.

Thanks everyone for their answers! I can confirm this by opening the tools menu in my au3 file:

TheDcoder,

SciTE4AutoIt3 has been like that since I have been using AutoIt - the "tools" only show up when you are editing a saved .au3 file. Why would you want  to use them on a non-AutoIt file anyway? What purpose would it serve?

The hotkeys also cease to function., and all the things like the config only affect AutoIt pathing and behavior with .au3s.  Not behavior of the editor.  (as is being pointed out, en masse).

I see no reason to not include tools like "SciTE Config", "Toggle Override Font" etc. in non-au3 files, aren't they supposed to be independent of the format of the file currently being edited?

the first is literally SciTE Config for AutoIt3 editing the config file in your AutoIt directory, and the latter seems like a good reason to learn to edit the .properties files under options;  they seem human readable and not too monumental a task to modify.

Well I do as many of the stuff defined in SciTEConfig is AutoIt3 centric, so hence the choice made. 
Feel free to do what you prefer in SciTEUser.properties when that makes you tick. ;)
