Simple terminal text editor built and configured with lua

Built in C and Lua, this simple editor is my editor. I've tried on many occasions to build a minimal terminal text editor that meets my basic needs ... and failed to many times with all kinds of languages to get to a point where I could switch to it full time.

Hopefully this time, I get it done and get it right. The goal is to suit my text editing needs, now, if you have similar needs feel free to adopt this fun little editor. If you wish for something, feel free to add it in.

Given that it's built in the same language it can be scripted/configured with it should be easy for you to mold this editor into one that suits your needs if you are used to the vim family of editors.
