AutoHotkey Plus Plus is one of many extensions that offer VS Code language support. So why should you use this one?
- **Supports both v1 and v2**: AHK++ now has support for AutoHotkey v2 (in preview), making it the only extension to support both major versions of AutoHotkey!
- **Actively maintained**: Any issues encountered while using this extension can be reported and fixed. With other extensions, anything that's broken will stay broken forever. You can report any issues with AHK++ (and view all issues) through the [issue tracker](https://github.com/mark-wiemer/vscode-autohotkey-plus-plus/issues).
- **IntelliSense**: Smart code completion, syntax highlighting, code navigation, and more.
- **Debug support**: Run and debug AHK scripts from VS Code.
- **New features**: Another benefit to active maintenance is that AHK++ can add new features as users request them. For example, quick help, formatter directives, and custom new file templates were all added based on user feedback!## Install
Install from VS Code or install from VS Code Marketplace: [Install AutoHotkey Plus Plus](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mark-wiemer.vscode-autohotkey-plus-plus).
## Commands
With AHK++, you can compile, debug, and run your scripts with keyboard shortcuts. You can also run a selection as a standalone script.
- Compile: `Ctrl + Shift + F9`
- Debug: `Ctrl + Alt + F9`
- Open help: `Ctrl + F1`
- Run: `Ctrl + F9`
- Run selection: `Ctrl + F8`## Debug
> There are some [known issues with the debugger](https://github.com/mark-wiemer/vscode-autohotkey-plus-plus/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Adebugger). If you need an advanced setup, we recommend [zero-plusplus.vscode-autohotkey-debug](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=zero-plusplus.vscode-autohotkey-debug).
1. Click the debug button in the editor title menu (at the top right of the editor) or press `Ctrl + Alt + F9`.
2. The debugger supports breakpoints, stack tracing, and variable watching![Debug](image/debug.gif)
### Debug features
1. **Output message**: You can use `OutputDebug` command instead of `MsgBox` to log values.

2. **Evaluate**: Set and get variable values through the debug console.

This extension provides basic debugging functions. If you need more debugging functions (such as conditional breakpoints), you can add an additional extension: [Install vscode-autohotkey-debug](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=zero-plusplus.vscode-autohotkey-debug).

![Code Format](image/codeFormat.jpg)
#### Formatter Directives
Formatter directives instruct the formatter to behave a certain way on sections of code.
1. `FormatBlockComment`:
```autohotkey
;@AHK++FormatBlockCommentOn
/*
;All text inside block comment will be formatted like regular code.
*/
;@AHK++FormatBlockCommentOff
```2. `AlignAssignment`:
```autohotkey
;@AHK++AlignAssignmentOn
a = 5 ; number five
str = legacy text = with equal symbol
inputFile := "movie.mkv"
abc := "abc" ; string
abc := a + b
;@AHK++AlignAssignmentOff
