Template snippet

The template snippet is applied to the top of each new AHK file. Here is a sample:

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance, Force
SendMode, Input
SetBatchLines, -1
SetWorkingDir, %A_ScriptDir%

You can customize the template snippet to fit your needs:

1. In VS Code, open the command palette (F1) and go to "Snippets: Configure User Snippets".

2. Choose a global snippets file or create a new one.

3. Create a new snippet with a unique name, for example:

   "CustomAhkTemplate": {
       "body": [
           "; My new script with no directives",
           "; Here is a second comment line",
           ""
       ]
   }

4. Update your VS Code settings for AHK > File > "Template snippet name" to the name of your snippet (CustomAhkTemplate)

To test, just create a new file! If you have any issues, please open a discussion.

Troubleshooting

The name of the snippet must be unique, not used by any other extension. This extension uses the names AhkTemplateV1 and AhkTemplateV2. Other extensions may use similar names.
