How to implement F5 to compile and execute the program?

[htqx]

I use the binding, “command-edit:term zig run filename” and it compiles, but I need to edit the filename myself, I want to know how to get the current filename?

I don't think there's a way to do it directly in a key binding but you could write a plugin. Here's mine for reference: executor.lua

Put this in ~/.config/micro/init.lua

local shell = import("micro/shell")

function zigrun(bp)
    local buf = bp.Buf
    bp:Save()
    if buf:FileType() == "zig" then
        shell.RunTermEmulator(bp, "zig run " .. buf.Path, true, false, (function(...)end), {})
    end
end

Then add "F5": "lua:initlua.zigrun" to your bindings.json
