instance. Unfortunately doesn't work consistenly across platforms: (1) Linux works best activating and raising the application window. (2) OSX checks for the application running and doesn't even get to the "single instance" check; when started with "bin/lua src/main.lua zbstudio <file>" it correctly loads the file, but doesn't switch to the app. (3) Windows doesn't activate the app window all the time (it activates it the first time, but not subsequent times).
Project Description
ZeroBrane Studio is a lightweight Lua IDE with code completion, syntax highlighting, remote debugger, code analyzer, live coding, and debugging support for several Lua engines (LuaJIT, Löve 2D, Moai, Gideros, MobileLua, and others). It originated from the Estrela Editor.
Features
- Written in Lua, so easily customizable.
- Small, portable, and cross-platform (Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux).
- Auto-completion for functions, keywords, and custom APIs.
- Interactive console to directly test code snippets with local and remote execution.
- Integrated debugger (with support for local and remote debugging).
- Live coding with Lua (demo), Löve 2D (demo), and Gideros (demo).
- Support for plugin-like components:
- applications: overall control of applications settings;
- specs (spec/): file syntax, lexer, keywords (e.g. glsl);
- apis (api/): for code-completion and tool-tips;
- interpreters (interpreters/): how a project is run;
- config (cfg/): contains style and basic editor settings;
- tools (tools/): additional tools (e.g. DirectX/Cg shader compiler…).

Usage
Open file(s):
<zbstudio> <filename> [<filename>...]
any non-option will be treated as filename
Overriding default configuration:

Where is Estrela?
The projects have been merged again and zbstudio will lead the
future. Please reassociate files with zbstudio. To keep your history of
files and projects copy the contents of the
EstrelaEditor.ini in your HOME directory to
ZeroBraneStudio.ini. If you have used Estrela for graphics
shader authoring or luxinia, create/modify the cfg/user.lua
to include the content of cfg/estrela.lua to load all tools
and specifications by default again.
