Description
A lot of the time you'll want to add rudimentary scripting snippets to an object. It would be nice to have some form for script editor in Tiled. This should probably be a different "property type" (like int, float, color, string, etc). Editing one would pop open a lightweight code editor with syntax highlighting. There should be a dropdown somewhere to select a language for highlighting, which would be saved together with the property in the .tmx file.
Forgive my horrible UI mockups:
