Spring is a modification of Far Manager, that uses the Lua programming language instead of the embedded macro-language.
A macro is a Lua-script and its meta-data such as:
- Areas from which the script may be executed
- Keys that initiate execution of the script from those areas
- Prerequisites for the execution of the script
- Run-time flags:
EnableOutputandNoSendKeysToPlugins
- Macro recording and playback
- Standard Lua libraries
- LuaFAR libraries ("plugin API")
- Libraries of macro functions ("macro API")
- For plugins: function
MacroControl
Since 30 September 2012 this project is merged with Far Manager, and its separate development stopped.
