Can not run .ahk script?

#1

Hi,
First day learning ST3. It’s wonderful!
Could anybody please help me with 3 questions:
1, I dragged into ST3 an ahk(autohotkey) script file I wrote before, which has worked fine for days. So no need to edit it anymore, I just tried “TOOL----Run”, nothing happened, also tried “TOOL----AUTOHOTKEY-RUN”. With ctrl+` I can see “TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str”.
I guess I should specify my autohotkey.exe filepath as mentioned:“For the build system and ahkrun, ahkrunpiped, and ahkcompile commands, if you have a non-default installation then you will need to set your specific path to AutoHotkey.exe and Ahk2Exe.exe in a file named AutoHotkey.sublime-settings in your User folder. You can access these settings file from the Menu Preferences > Package Settings > AutoHotkey. You should make a copy of AutoHotkey Settings - Default at AutoHotkey Settings - User and modify there since then any settings defined in your User folder will take precedence and the package can still update itself without overwriting your custom settings.”
But what syntax should I use?
2, I saw a youtube tutorial about ST3 ------ he typed in a command, and ST3 automatically completed peremeters tip of that command, peremeters are seperated by comma, some peremeters are quite long. Then he probabally selected a peremeter with ONE shortcut key, then deleted&typed his own words, this is useful especially for long peremeter…What’s that shortcut key?
3, related to my question No.2, I tried to type some SAME command several times, but results varied: sometimes ST3 completed/gave out peremeters, sometimes nothing. I can not find the reason.

~Cheers

  1. Preference -> Package Settings -> Autohotkey -> Setting User
    {
    “AutoHotKeyExePath”: [ “D:\Apps\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe”],
    “Ahk2ExePath”: [ “D:\Apps\AutoHotkey\Compiler\Ahk2Exe.exe”]
    }

Replace the two paths to your Autohotkey.exe 's paths.

  1. Autocomplete plugin. Depending on which language you use. You can search in web.

Thanks, working like a charm.
One more question please: how do I combine a hotkey to Menu----Tools-----Autohotkey-Run ?

I find:
Q2: maybe ctrl+shift+right or alt+shift+right several times is a proximate answer;
Q3: when I see a keyword autocompleted without its peremeters given out, I should use TAB key.
