Vis-editor config files.

Compile Vis on Debian

    apt install lua5.3
    apt install liblua5.3-dev
    apt install lua-lpeg

I don't need selinux and acl ?

Lua5.4 did not work for me.

Install config files.

    ln -s ~/q/vis                 ~/.config/vis

Vis on Termux

    pkg install vis
    git clone this

    mkdir   ~/.config
    ln  -s  ~/.config/vis                            ~/vis-editor

    ln  -s  /.../usr/share/vis/themes/seaclouds.lua  ~/vis-editor/seaclouds.lua
    
    vis -v               # vis v0.7 +curses +lua

Compile Vis on Termux

    git clone vis
    cd vis
    ./configure
    make
    ./vis                # <smile />
    vis -v               # vis v0.7-54-...  +curses

I was not able to get it to compile with lua and lua-lpeg, so no lua and no syntax-hightlighting for the build-from-source-version. (lualib not found)

The pkg-install-version does come with lua and lpeg support.

Install new syntax lexer file.

    ln -s ~/q/vis/<filetype>.lua  /usr/share/vis/lexers

    edit /usr/share/vis/plugins/filetype.lua
    edit ~/vis/vis-comment.lua

As it looks, lexers need a symlink, plugins and themes don't.

Filetypes for share/vis/plugins/filetype.lua

                 ext = { "%.obn$", "%.ob$", "%.Mod$" }
           },                                                                      
  miranda = {                                                             
                 ext = { "%.m$" }                                                
            },                                                                      
  minal = {                                                               
                 ext = { "%.minal$", "%.rabbit$" }                                            
          },
