What is the best editor for Autohotkey with regards to syntax hightlighting, command completion (intellisense), testing etc.
I am doing a bit of Autohotkey programming, and being spoiled rotten by Visual Studio, I really miss these features - especially being new to the language/framework.

You can use a suspend AutoHotkey function, just press [ESC] and the script stop working, press again and it works.
An AHK file is a script created with AutoHotkey, a program used to automate tasks in Windows. It is saved as a plain text file and contains lines of code that can be executed by AutoHotkey (AutoHotkey.exe).
Built option to add "AHK Portable Installer" path to PATH environment variable. The "Install For" option affects adding to the user PATH or system PATH. Built option to copy installed EXE to "AHK Portable Installer" dir as "AutoHotkey.exe".
The best editor to get started with would be SciTE4AutoHotkey

I have just discovered that the free editor Notepad++ has an AutoIt syntax highlighting mode that seems to support AutoHotKey syntax.
To use it, I just opened my .ahk file in Notepad++, then selected Language->A->AutoIt.
