Language Switch problems

[RaptorX]

Type: Bug

Type: Bug
Notes: Reported and closed here: #461

• have Autohotkey Plus Plus installed
• have Autohotkey v2 Language Support Installed
• Open a new file
• Select ahk v1 language

Expected

Language switch should set V1

Result

V2 Gets selected

Notes

After v2 is selected I cant switch to v1 unless:

1. I set the requires directive
2. switch tabs and come back to the file

Manually switching to v1 is not working in any circumstance, seems like this extension is not responding to the switch event.

I saw you post in the other repo. It might not suit you, but this is the solution I use - it does rely on the use of the #Requires AutoHotkey v1+ directive, the use of separate folders and workspaces for v1/v2 scripts and the use of the Project Manager extension.

Edit : "Notes: Reported and closed here: #461" is a reference to the other repo.

Here's a hasty video.

Wow, thanks so much for the detailed workaround! I'll try to get to this bug shortly, but for now I think just adding "#Requires" to each file should help a lot--please let me know if you need further assistance, @RaptorX. Compatibility with other extensions will always be difficult, but I'll do my best to follow best practices :)

Closing as out of scope for now, I'm not able to reproduce this issue, and #Requires is strongly recommended by me. If #Requires solves the problem, I'll probably mark it as closed, unless there is a really significant issue.
