Yup, I hit this wall, too, once [1]. At that time there were two ideas
floating:
- allow external editing ERT insets with a random text editor
- integrate with QScintilla

Both are probably worth of a bug report and perhaps of a GSoC project.

This would be the best solution, as it would include all the flexibility
for the user to choose the editor of preference, and be usable fo all
kind of language types.

 - integrate with QScintilla

I would say second best, as it would only represent a subset of the
functionality of an external editor like for example emacs+ESS for R.

In general, I think the addition of an external editor feature for ert
boxes, would open many doors for LyX.
