vscode-autohotkey-NekoHelp

Base of cweijan /vscode-autohotkey
Base of regexp match, not the principles of compilation, so parser inaccurate.
AutoHotkey v2 has been released and will be considered the default/main version announcement, if you need to write new ahk, I suggest you to use ahk v2 && AutoHotkey v2 Language Support, ahk v1 for me is so complicated.

Privacy Statement

Do not upload any information.
only use vscode provided api, not any third party dependencies, Safe and Privacy.
just scan workspaces or open file. not auto scan any file without workspaces, until option the "AhkNekoHelp.file.tryParserInclude" or "AhkNekoHelp.files.alwaysIncludeFolder"
If you need to place .ahk in other folders, this Extensions support Multi-root Workspaces or "AhkNekoHelp.files.alwaysIncludeFolder"

Performance

The best way to improve startup times is to exclude unnecessary files, via settings.json AhkNekoHelp.files.exclude
When editing becomes slow, split the file, via #Include
via 'Refresh Resource' to find each file parsing time.
