Perhaps if Apple supported an external editor API (similar to

This is already possible, have a look to the "File Types"
preferences tab inside Xcode's Preferences.
Actually, in condensed mode it works fine, but not in the "All-in-
one" mode: on double-clicking the huge file, it will be opended in
the external editor *and* be shown in Xcode's editor... anyway,
applying an external editor is on per-extension-basis, not on per-
size-basis, and I don't want all my .cpp files opened in an
external browser.
As I recall, Codewarrior's external editor API allowed you to build
the project and debug from the editor, to avoid constant switching
back and forth.
I doubt you'll ever get a size-based choice, that seems very counter-
intuitive. Most folks either want an external editor for a file type
or not.
The ultimate solution is really to improve the performance of the
built-in editor. I notice a lag on relatively small files, so I think
everyone would benefit from these types of improvements.
