If you need more power than the json files provide, you can use the `init.lua`
file. Create it in `~/.config/micro`. This file is a lua file that is run when
micro starts and is essentially a one-file plugin.

This example will show you how to use the `init.lua` file by creating
a binding to `CtrlR` which will execute the bash command `go run` on the current file,
given that the current file is a Go file.
You can do that by putting the following in `init.lua`:
```lua
function gorun()
local buf = CurView().Buf -- The current buffer
if buf:FileType() == "go" then
HandleShellCommand("go run " .. buf.Path, true, true) -- the first true means don't run it in the background
end
local config = import("micro/config")
local shell = import("micro/shell")
function init()
-- true means overwrite any existing binding to CtrlR
-- this will modify the bindings.json file
config.TryBindKey("CtrlR", "lua:initlua.gorun", true)
end
BindKey("CtrlR", "init.gorun")
function gorun(bp)
local buf = bp.Buf
if buf:FileType() == "go" then
-- the true means run in the foreground
-- the false means send output to stdout (instead of returning it)
shell.RunInteractiveShell("go run " .. buf.Path, true, false)
end
end
```
