Just curious to see what text editors people are using when writing/editing scripts and if it's anything but notepad do you have any syntax highlighting in that program?

I use UltraEdit32. I set it for html files so that I get the normal javacsript formating that I'm used to using.
I also use a scripting font, ProggySquareBP. It is far more pleasant to code with and has over sized and distinct script characters like ([{}]) so you don't easily miss a syntax issue.
I've never bothered to configure LS specific syntax or function completion, though it isn't difficult to do.

I forgot to put what i use in my original post. I'm using EditPadPro. I've actually been using it for years now and i love it. The only issue I have is it uses regular expressions for syntax highlighting and i could never really get my head around it.
I think I own UEdit also so i might dust it off and give it a try.

Ultraedit
There are a couple versions of this over at ISMods.com as I recall, but here is the syntax highlighting I grabbed from there which you can dump in your wordfile.txt
Quick fix for the comments issue, just grab the first line.
***note*** if you haven't updated your wordfile.txt before for ultraedit, change the /L12 on the first line to whatever the next number is from your current wordfile.txt. I think the latest version IDM Software distributes goes to /L13 by default, so you'd want to use /L14. YMMV

Code:
/L12"InnerSpace" Line Comment = ; Block Comment On = /* Block Comment Off = */ String Chars = "' File Extensions = ISS ICE
/Delimiters = ~!@%^&*()+{}[]:;"' , .?
/Function String = "%function[ ^t*]+^([a-zA-Z_0-9]+^)"

personaly, I use Notepad++
it will allow you to add custom colors, along with text completion, based on other ISS, XML, etc files that you currently have located to try and complete the line for you properly. Sometimes, it is wrong as there are alot of way to write up the code and commands for different things, but all in all..the color coding for most all the commands seems to work well and i like it.. just my 2secs

If that's the same Ultraedit syntax file I'm using (the latest posted on ISMods), it works pretty well. The only problem I've seen is that apostrophes nested in-line comments (and maybe multi-line comments) tend to break it...probably fixable, but I'm to lazy to re-learn the syntax files as I haven't messed with it in years. What I haven't found is a good solution for handling LavishSettings-style xml, but then UltraEdit doesn't do xml natively anyway, and relies a lot on external tools.
Adding ISXGames keywords probably wouldn't be of much use. In lavishscript, most of the "magic" happens inside of the ${} syntax and anything else is either an operator or a keyword anyway. <shrug>

Yeah, cr4zy, I suspect its the same one, as it has the same issues you are describing. Its one of the things thats on my ToDo list to muck around with it and fix it 'when I get time'. Time is elusive, however.
And while you are probably right about the keywords, it doesn't hurt to at least highlight them so you know you are using one or at least spelled it correctly.
Ama, if you want to send me said file with the data types, members and methods, I'll take a look at spending some time to merge them in for sake of completeness.

CyberTech pointed me to this: http://ismods.com/wiki/index.php/Syntax_Files
Its the most up to date syntax highlighting for IS but still needs the stuff for Ama's extensions. So, I'm still going to be taking a shot at adding them.

I like to use Codelobster. It is free and works best for me.
