mc^2? Lua? Wow, how did I miss this one?
Looks like I have some homework now.
Thanks!

Sorry this should have been 4.8.18.


Try harder, it's actually there ;-) It would help if you explained where 
did you get the archive from and how did you unpack it, but, if I were 
you, I'd simply installed it from homebrew instead, since you're obviously 
not very comfortable with building stuff from source on macOS.

You can use mc^2 with a simple snippet like this:

ui.Editbox.bind("<>", function(edt)

  if edt.filename and edt.filename:find "/projects/lambda/" then
ui.Editbox.options.tab_size = 4
ui.Editbox.options.expand_tabs = true
  else
ui.Editbox.options.tab_size = 8
ui.Editbox.options.expand_tabs = false
  end

end)

(For documentation, see [1])

(The 'else' case is needed because in MC the editor options are
global, not local to each edit buffer.)

mc^2 also comes with a modeline module (if you decide to use it just
remember to require() it before the snippet above so it doesn't
overwrite your settings).
