Lua-mode

lua-mode is an Emacs major mode for editing Lua. The development has moved to github, so update your bookmarks if you still look for new releases at luaforge.

If you have a problem or a suggestion about lua-mode, please, let me know about it via issue tracker.

INSTALLATION

MANUAL INSTALLATION

1. Grab a zipball¹:

• last stable release
• current development snapshot

To install, just copy lua-mode.el into a directory on your load-path (and optionally byte-compile it). To set up Emacs to automatically edit files ending in .lua or with a lua hash-bang line using lua-mode add the following to your init file:

    (autoload 'lua-mode "lua-mode" "Lua editing mode." t)
    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.lua$" . lua-mode))
    (add-to-list 'interpreter-mode-alist '("lua" . lua-mode))

USAGE

lua-mode supports c-mode style formatting and sending of lines/regions/files to a Lua interpreter. An interpreter (see variable lua-default-application) will be started if you try to send some code and none is running. You can use the process-buffer (named after the application you chose) as if it were an interactive shell. See the documentation for comint.el for details.

Lua-mode also works with Hide Show minor mode (see hs-minor-mode).
