Description 13hurdw 2018-04-10 16:59:41 UTC 
Add highlighting for AutoIt https://www.autoitscript.com/

Creating a new definition file based off the AHK syntax would probably be best.
Hacky workaround would be adding the ".au3" extension to the existing AutoHotKey defn

Please provide a highlighting file. We cannot do this on our own for hundreds of languages we may not even be familiar with...

Hi,

as long as nobody contributes a highlighting, nothing will happen.

We have good documentation on

https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/syntax-highlighting/-/blob/master/README.md

to get somebody started. Beside this, one can always reach out on the channels described on
