a Sikuli script e.g. myscript.sikuli is a folder, that contains the image files you captured and the script code in a file called myscript.py. If you open this with an external editor, it should show the code in the shape you have saved it the last time in the Sikuli IDE (does not matter, if the IDE is still open or not).

There is a bug, that might be irritating: if you modify a script and then save it with save as with a different name (e.g. script1.sikuli), then this folder still contains the last version as myscript.py and the new version as script1.py, but the changes you made are not saved to myscript.sikuli. If you want to have that, you have to use save as once more.

So if you plan to work with an external editor in addition to the IDE, you have to be very careful with your naming concept and versioning/renaming, to always have this 1:1 with .sikuli and .py inside.
