Q: How to make keyword list for syntax file at easy?
A: Create an Code template for syntax 'XML'

1.) open an new 'XML' document (or your 'xyz'- syntax file)
2.) Tools > Options...  > [X]Syntax settings > '+XML' > Code Templates
3.) press [Add] and Fill out:
     Key* = Make an keyword list
     Desc = Make an keyword list
     Shortcut = what you want, f.ex. 'Ctrl+Alt+K'
     [OK]

4.)  in 'Code:' box
     a) type <Keyword text="
     b) click [Insert tag...] and click on %SelectedLine% to insert this into your code
     c) type "/>
     You should see an line like: <Keyword text="%SelectedLine%"/>
     [OK]


5.)
Now, back in HippoEDIT, type (or paste) your keywords in, one line for each keyword.

like:

ControlFocus
ControlGet
ControlGetFocus
ControlGetText
ControlClick
ControlMove
ControlGetPos
ControlSend
ControlSetText


6.) select all keywords

7.) Execute your key-list-template by pressing Ctrl+Alt+K

8.)
