Need FOSS Lua text editor
I need some recommendations for FOSS lua text editors that run on loonix. I know lite-xl but its plugins and its community are very disorganized so on some installs everything is fine and in some not with nobody knowing what is wrong or how to fix it. Mine falls into the second category. There is also vscodium but its sorta big and I'd like to avoid big corpo stuff. Neovim with some preset has all the features i want but i don't wanna relearn writing text to be honest. So i am using kate right now. I want to have quality of life stuff like proper LSP support that goes to far as to having complete complete and this 'auto doc' thing which shows what variables you can give to the function and this is something NV and vscodium have but the rest doesn't want to cooperate sadly. I only want to write in lua btw.

Also feel free to suggest ones that are not 100% what i described i wanted in the OP. Something that works a bit is better than fighting what i have right now. Damn kate fucks up my indentation and won't place brackets properly needing me to correct them often.

brother stop overthinking about ts and just write the damn code. vscodium already ticks off all your needs: free, built from open source codebase, has an active community, and extensions galore. stallman isn't going to come in your house fuck you in the ass if you use a program with a hint of the big evil company. if you can't even be assed to learn nvim just stick with the most popular and familiar option

Well meanwhile i fixed what was plaguing lite-xl so i think i don't have to fight my editor anymore i think.

Uooh nice anon. That one looks like Lite-xl but more professional and out of the box like. I'll try that one if i ever get into trouble with my current editor. But i will miss the tetris addon lite-xl has if i ever had to do it.
