can anyone recommend me a text editor which has the Gmod Lua Lexer plugin? Thanks
Notepad++
np++ is win32 only. On a mac your options are probably limited to TextWrangler on the app store which is free but a bit shit or [url=http://www.sublimetext.com/]Sublime Text[/url] which you can "evaluate" forever as long as you don't mind it constantly asking you to buy it. [editline]4th November 2013[/editline] FPtje has made a GLua addon for sublime text but it's pretty aggressive and disables the default autocomplete so I wouldn't really recommend using it.

I own TextWrangler, But It dosen't have Gmod Lua support. I was hoping I could find a program that does support it, so I can continue working on my addons.
Sublime text 2/3 with falcos package for Syntax highlighting plus intellisense style auto completion for gmod lua. Saves you 50% of keystrokes and makes your code look nice.
Or maybe even MonoDevelop. [url]http://monodevelop.com/Download[/url] A handy, useable IDE that allows for auto completion and syntax highlighting with projects specifically for Garry's Mod.

Sublime text it is. Can't Garry make a highlighter for these apps? Or somenone else? It will make everybody's lives on a Mac alot easier.
