<p>Hey Kristof,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Hotspots make text clickable. You have to style it manualy using the <b>QScintilla.SendScintilla
</b>function.</p>
<p>Example function I used in my editor Ex.Co. (<a href="https://github.com/matkuki/ExCo" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk802397" previewremoved="true">https://github.com/matkuki/ExCo</a>):</p>
<blockquote>
<p></p>
<div>def style_hotspot(self, index_from, length, color=0xff0000):<br>
"""Style the text from/to with a hotspot"""<br>
send_scintilla = <br>
#Use the scintilla low level messaging system to set the hotspot<br>
<span>self.SendScintilla</span>(PyQt4.Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_STYLESETHOTSPOT, 2, True)<br>
<span>self.SendScintilla</span>(PyQt4.Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_SETHOTSPOTACTIVEFORE, True, color)<br>
<span>self.SendScintilla</span>(PyQt4.Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_SETHOTSPOTACTIVEUNDERLINE, True)<br>
<span>self.SendScintilla</span>(PyQt4.Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_STARTSTYLING, index_from, 2)<br>
<span>self.SendScintilla</span>(PyQt4.Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_SETSTYLING, length, 2)</div>
<p></p>
</blockquote>
<p>This makes text in the QScintilla editor clickable when you hover the mouse over it.</p>
<p>The number 2 in the above functions is the hotspot style number.<br>
</p>
<p>To catch the event that fires when you click the hotspot, connect to these signals:
<br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p></p>
<div>
<div>QScintilla.<span></span><span>SCN_HOTSPOTCLICK<br>
<div>QScintilla.<span></span><span><span>SCN_HOTSPOTDOUBLECLICK</span></span></div>
</span></div>
QScintilla.<span></span><span>SCN_HOTSPOTRELEASECLICK</span></div>
<p></p>
</blockquote>

<div>I am still trying to build an IDE in PyQt5, and use QScintilla for the syntax highlighting. I wonder if certain features are available in QScintilla. The official documentation is way too short.</div>
