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.

It is simple and instantly usable for beginners (as tested with middle and high school students with no programming experience), yet feature-rich and extensible for experienced developers. Unlike Eclipse and IntelliJ, it has a small footprint and is completely customizable with Lua. Unlike TextMate and Sublime Text, it includes a remote debugger and a full IDE feature set.

ZeroBrane Studio also provides several unique features: live coding for immediate feedback, Markdown formatting in comments for providing instructions with minimal context switching, and integrated interactive materials for those learning Lua or getting familiar with programming.

Feature highlights

  • Small, portable, open-source, 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.
  • Live coding with Lua (demo), Löve 2D (demo), Gideros (demo), Moai (demo), and Corona (demo).
  • Integrated debugger (with support for local and remote debugging), and more.

ZeroBrane - how to clear debug window?

I wonder if there is a way to clear the "local console" pane in ZeroBrane. Sometimes it gets "clogged" with no way to clean it - for example checking _G produces massive amount of text and everything slows to halt afterwards. I am using v0.50 that…
