I can't pick a Lua IDE!?!?...

[locohost]

I just can't find a Lua IDE I like. I tried Eclipse and that's too huge and bloated. I tried Geany, which is almost what I want but the sidebar that tries to show files and folders is crap. I tried GEdit, which isn't too bad but it's really a little light on features. I suppose what I'm hunting for is something like Geany, but the sidebar will shows the files and folders structure within the project.

Does any of that make sense?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions :-)

I use gedit.

And a console.

Really, that's all you need.

Yeah, gedit is more than enough.

Notepad++ is a good Windows program.

Edit: Gedit is also available for Windows.

Have you tried creating project files in geany?

Yeah I did create a Geany project, but it only shows open files. This is barely useful since the files are already open and therefore I can see them and their tabs. I need access to the project elements that I haven't already openned. Geany sidebar is amazingly poor. It won't show the project folder, sub folders and files like you get in bigger IDEs like VS, Eclipse, Aptana and so on. I guess I'm asking is there any lighter-weight IDE that shows the full project structure in the sidebar?

Thanks for the replies

Up until recently, Ive been using Programmers Notepad 2, it has what you need, with project file listing, although from my use thus far it is limited in the extra functionality that i want, which is extra syntax highlighting (for love modules etc) i may have missed something though ¬_¬

A downside is that its also windows only, i think.

If only there was a barebones IDE out there that we could strip the crap out of and build a LÖVE IDE out of, Would be awesome to handle projects and .zip them up automatically..

I'm sure you could do that with emacs or vim, using elisp and vim scripts respectively.
