Estrela Editor

Estrela Editor is our wxLua-based editor primarly serving as Luxinia IDE, of course it can be used for any Lua coding. It has code completion, api tooltips and is (open-source/free). Hosted on SourceForge. Estrela has its origins in a wxLua sample by J. Winwood & John Labenski.

Simply grab the latest-snapshot from git, it will include required wxLua binaries, however all relevant files are pure lua: git repository
