Opening any file ending in “.lsl” will syntax color the file.
To lookup documentation of the word under cursor, type “Ctrl+c Ctrl+r”. It'll switch you to the web browser of the function's documentation page at lslwiki.net.
Type “Ctrl+c Ctrl+f” to lookup a second reference site. By default the second site is http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal.
Type “Alt+;” to comment or uncomment current line or text selection in a smart way.
Typing “Esc Tab” will complete the word to the left of cursor to one of LSL's keyword. The keyword also includes all LSL constants (such as “ALL_SIDES”).

Tip: If you are looking for a function that has a name “key” in it, but you don't remember how it starts, you can type “Esc Tab” on a blank line, then it will list all lsl keywords. Then, you can switch cursor to the completion panel and do standard search. This works for any function or event handler or predefined CONSTANTS.
If your cursor is at the end of the word “llSensorRepeat”, press “Tab”, then it becomes:
llSensorRepeat(string name, key id, integer type, float range, float arc, float rate)
The template set supports all 34 events and 358 functions, and you can easily add your own.
You can have your vector types colored by their own value. This is useful when you work with colors often, such as particle shows, dance floors.
Colored vectors.
To color, select a region, then pull the menu “LSL‣Color vectors in region”, or type “Alt+x xlsl-color-vectors-region”.
To view a colored vector that's too dark, just select the text.
You can convert RGB color values between hexidecimal format and LSL vector format. For example, if your cursor is on the word “#cc90ff”, then type “Ctrl+c Ctrl+g” or “Alt+x xlsl-convert-rgb”, then it'll become “<0.8000,0.5647,1.0000>”, and vice versa.
If you need a color palette, and their hex values, type “Alt+x list-colors-display”.
To copy the whole file content, type “Ctrl+c Ctrl+c”.
