I have a few custom "Run" commands that I use to make scripting a bit smoother. One of my tricks started with Yami and I modified it for my situation.

Steps to add custom commands:

• Run > Run... (F5 by default I think).
• Paste the code into the "Type your program to run here" text box.
• Click Save...
• Name the function and optionally change the shortcut key combination (this can be done at a later time through Settings > Shorcut Mapper > Run Commands).
• Hit OK to save the command.
• Hit Cancel to exit the Run... dialog.

Compile:
This command will compile the active file

• - Use this when working within a AMX Mod X installation (i.e. working in the amxmodx/scripting/ folder).
  - Compiles and outputs .amxx file to amxmodx/plugins/ folder.
  - Uses the compiler that is adjacent to it.
  - If the .amxx file already exists it WILL OVERWRITE it.
  

  cmd /k ""$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\amxxpc.exe" -o"$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\..\plugins\$(NAME_PART).amxx" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)""

• Generic:
  

  cmd /k ""C:\path\to\compiler\folder\amxxpc.exe" -o"C:\path\to\output\folder\$(NAME_PART).amxx" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)""

  - Insert the compiler folder path and the output folder path as noted in the command.
  - Remove -o"..." argument if you would like to compile to the default location.
  
  
• A batch file for comiling and duplicating (needed due to run command length limit). Uses the Generic method above.
  
  

  @echo off
  REM Name this file "compile_and_duplicate.bat" and put it in your scripting folder.
  
  REM Notepad++ command below
  REM cmd /k "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\compile_and_duplicate "$(NAME_PART)" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)""
  
  REM Set folder paths here:
  SET compiler_folder=C:\trashme\scripting
  SET plugin_folder=C:\trashme\plugins
  SET duplicate_folder=C:\trashme\other
  
  SET name_part=%1
  SET full_current_path=%2
  
  :: Remove quotes
  SET name_part=###%name_part%###
  SET name_part=%name_part:"###=%
  SET name_part=%name_part:###"=%
  SET name_part=%name_part:###=%
  
  :: Remove quotes
  SET full_current_path=###%full_current_path%###
  SET full_current_path=%full_current_path:"###=%
  SET full_current_path=%full_current_path:###"=%
  SET full_current_path=%full_current_path:###=%
  
  REM Compile
  %compiler_folder%\amxxpc.exe -o"%plugin_folder%\%name_part%.amxx" "%full_current_path%"
  REM Duplicate to duplicate_folder
  COPY "%plugin_folder%\%name_part%.amxx" "%duplicate_folder%\%name_part%.amxx"

Keyword search:

This will search the funcwiki at amxmodx.org for the word that is closest to your cursor (will highlight the whole word when command is executed). If you highlight a group of characters it will search for the highlighted sequence of characters literally.
