In terms of Godot functionality, you do stuff in Lua scripts the same way that you would in GDScript or C#, you just have to use the right objects/methods.
The different stuff is just the language. For example, in Lua, to call methods in the script instance, you have to use self:<your method name>(...) instead of just <your method name>(...). To access properties, you need to use self.<your property name> instead of just <your property name>.
Check out Godot's documentation for more information on how to handle inputs (including keyboard and mouse): https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/inputs/index.html
For example, here is a transcript in Lua of the first code sample from the "Events versus polling" section of the "Input examples" documentation (https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/inputs/input_examples.html#events-versus-polling):
-- NOTE: just like the example in GDScript, this example assumes you
-- have the rest of the script's class defined, like the `jump` method,
-- `position` and `speed` properties
function MyClass:_input(event)
if event:is_action_pressed("jump") then
self:jump()
end
end
function MyClass:_physics_process(delta)
if Input:is_action_pressed("move_right") then
self.position.x = self.position.x + self.speed * delta
end
end
