Lua scripting Plugin

Lua scripting Plugin:

I Wish there was a Button on the Toolbar to Run (Execute the Code).

Fantastic for Testing Short Scripts.

Its capabilities. This provides control over all of Scintilla’s features and options with a light-weight, fully-functional programming language.

The LuaScript plugin already provides a menu item to execute the code in current editor tab, see (menu) Plugins -> LuaScript -> Execute Current File.

With the help of the CustomizeToolbar plugin you can create a toolbar button linked to that menu entry by yourself. The plugin provides help how to do that, see (menu) Plugins -> Customize Toolbar -> Help - Custom Buttons.

But since coding implies that you have your fingertips already at the keyboard, I would like to suggest to use Npp’s macro feature to create a macro that

• saves the current file and
• calls LuaScript’s Execute Current File feature.

That macro you can assign to a keyboard shortcut.
