@Will: the Lua-enabled version was a set of patches maintained by Steffan Löfler, iirc. Alain proposed 4 windows builds at one time: the “vanilla” version, a version with Lua, a version with printing, and one with both.

Perfect! I’ve missed this option in other tex editors.

Thank you Will and Vafa for the info. I have used Javascript a few times for web development, so learning how to script TeXworks should not be that hard.

Actually QtScript, which is based on ECMAScript:

I’d heard mention of a TeXworks version that used Lua scripting, but never saw it. The choice of language isn’t too important, I guess, and in the case of QtScript it seems the perfect fit for the rest of the development environment.

or maybe Java Script.

I guess, they use lua.

Great news. Do you know what scripting language TeXworks uses? I have not followed the development of TeXworks recently.
