If you like the Macintosh editor SubEthaEdit, I've just finished a custom mode for it. It features:
  1. Syntax coloring of the major parts of LSL
  2. Auto-completion for all LSL functions, constants and events
  3. Symbol navigation pop-up menu with all globals, functions, states and events in the file
  4. Command (and toolbar button) for lookup of symbol in LSL Wiki


It is version 0.5 as I've been using it for a week, so I might tweak it some. Feedback appreciated.

You can download a zip archive of the mode here:
LSL mode for SubEthaEdit

To install: After downloading, double click on the "LSL.mode.zip" file to expand it. Then double click on "LSL mode" file to install it. SubEthaEdit should launch and ask you where you want to install it. Due to a SubEthaEdit bug, install it "for all users of this computer" or the toolbar button won't work.

For more info about SubEthaEdit:

Enjoy!

This is awesome, really good job! I don't have time to try properly scripting in it just yet, but this looks like a perfect solution for scripting outside of SL!

Is there a way to have LSL mode enable automatically for a particular file extension, such as myscript.lsl?

It should automatically be selected for .lsl files. That functionality is built into the SubEthaEdit mode framework, and I had the mode declare that it handles .lsl files. (It also handles .lsh and .lsm files... I use these extensions for files run through the C++ preprocessor to generate .lsl files for upload.)
