Search feature is vital. And Search and REplace!!!!!

Also, indents-management would be nice, but very low priority:

Hrm I wrote a syntax highlighting editor for another scripting language that I use. Maybe I'll think about doing one up for LSL. It's a sucky edtior but beats using notepad.

Plus it sucks because it's in VB, and the only reason I learned VB was because I wanted to code an editor for the script language. Otherwise I can't code for beans, but I can make it look like I can, sorta.. well ok, maybe not. :p

Have a look at a glorious screenshot:

Anyone interested in a goofy editor like that? If so maybe I'll waste some time at work making one for LSL. You'll love it because it requires you to seek out ocx files that you've long ago deleted! :p

If you have too much time on your hands, I'd really like to see a Python compiler/interpreter written in lsl.

I think that Python has a number of advantages over C for scripting that would make it easier for newbies to pick up.

I also like the fact that it's impossible not to have the indents all lined up because the indents *define* the contexts!
