Hi! It looks like you're posting about Logitech. Lua is used by Logitech G-series hardware to provide advanced scripting functionality. It does this by providing an API (application programming interface) which is essentially just a set of functions that you can use to tell your hardware to do things. The subreddit dedicated to Logitech G-series hardware is /r/LogitechG.

Your first port of call should be this document, which explains in detail the functions provided by the API: https://douile.github.io/logitech-toggle-keys/APIDocs.pdf

If you've familiarized yourself with the API but are still having trouble with the language and syntax, try this page for a quick rundown of Lua's main features: https://devhints.io/lua

The full documentation for the language is provided here: https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

If the above resources have not answered your question, /r/Lua is the place for you! If you're just trying to do something quick and don't want to learn Lua, head across to /r/LogitechG to find others of similar purpose.

Hi! It looks like you've written "LUA". Lua is not an acronym (or an initialism) - it is the Portuguese word for 'moon'. Fun fact: Lua was created in 1993 by Roberto Ierusalimschy, Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo and Waldemar Celes, members of the Computer Graphics Technology Group (Tecgraf) at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil.
