Hey Kristof,
Hotspots make text clickable. You have to style it manualy using the QScintilla.SendScintilla function. Example function I used in my editor Ex.Co. (https://github.com/matkuki/ExCo): def style_hotspot(self, index_from, length, color=0xff0000): """Style the text from/to with a hotspot""" send_scintilla = #Use the scintilla low level messaging system to set the hotspot self.SendScintilla(PyQt4.Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_STYLESETHOTSPOT, 2, True) self.SendScintilla(PyQt4.Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_SETHOTSPOTACTIVEFORE, True, color) self.SendScintilla(PyQt4.Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_SETHOTSPOTACTIVEUNDERLINE, True) self.SendScintilla(PyQt4.Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_STARTSTYLING, index_from, 2) self.SendScintilla(PyQt4.Qsci.QsciScintillaBase.SCI_SETSTYLING, length, 2) This makes text in the QScintilla editor clickable when you hover the mouse over it. The number 2 in the above functions is the hotspot style number. To catch the event that fires when you click the hotspot, connect to these signals: QScintilla.SCN_HOTSPOTCLICK QScintilla.SCN_HOTSPOTDOUBLECLICK QScintilla.SCN_HOTSPOTRELEASECLICK For more details look at Scintilla hotspot documentation: http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#SCI_STYLESETHOTSPOT and QScintilla hotspot events: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/QScintilla2/classQsciScintillaBase.html#a5eff383e6fa96cbbaba6a2558b076c0b Try it. Hope it helps.

I wonder if certain features are available in QScintilla. The official documentation is way too short. Kind greetings, Kristof Mulier PS: The IDE I am building can be found on my website: www.gneb.io<http://www.gneb.io>
