Awesome
vim-lua
Improved Lua 5.3 syntax and indentation support for Vim.
Highlighting: stock Vim (left) vs. this plugin (right): (Color scheme: solarized dark; Font: Anonymous Pro)
Configuration
vim-lua supports a few options. All are boolean and off by default: set an
option to 1 with let g:lua_syntax_someoption = 1
to enable it (setting to 0
for disabling is currently not supported -- just don't set the option at all to
keep it disabled).
g:lua_syntax_nosymboloperator
disables highlighting of the Lua symbol operators (that is, all operators except for the keyword operatorsand
andor
).g:lua_syntax_fancynotequal
enables displaying Lua's~=
operator with Unicode character≠
.g:lua_syntax_nofold
disables code folding. If this option is set, you can selectively reenable some folds withg:lua_syntax_fold_<group>
where<group>
can be table, comment, function, control or string. You can also have even more fine-grained control by enabling specific syntax regions instead of groups. Look in the source code for the second argument ofcall s:FoldableRegion
for all options, but note that the names are subject to change in later versions.g:lua_syntax_nostdlib
disables highlighting of all standard library names like,io
,print
and evenrequire
,error
etc. If that is too much you can useg:lua_syntax_noextendedstdlib
instead to keep_G
,module
,require
,assert
,error
,pcall
andxpcall
highlighted.
