LuaFAR for Editor

User's utilities


Installing user’s utilities

The plugin treats the file _usermenu.lua lying in the plugin’s directory as the installation script for user’s utilities. This script is run in two cases:

  • When Far calls SetStartupInfoW of the plugin
  • When the command “Reload User File” from the Configuration Menu is executed

There are a few installation functions that are intended to be called from _usermenu.lua.

Running installed user’s utilities

User utilities can be configured to run in the following ways:

Running scripts without installation

  • From the Editor: use the included utility Lua Script.
  • From the command line.
