Actionscript development - OS x vs windows

I have a mac sitting right next to my PC for photoshop/illustrator/flash development. However, though I am fully capable with a mac, I find the text navigation shortcuts non-standard and cumbersome to say the least. Recently I've taken to editing my actionscript files on my PC via a network share and then merely compiling the flash component on the mac. Workable as it is, I'd really like a better text editing environment on the mac so I wouldn't have to keep switching. Is there a better solution?

Have you tried FlexBuilder (oh yeah, soon to be called FlashBuilder)? It runs on both Windows and Mac. It runs either as a standalone application built on Eclipse, or as a plugin to Eclipse. As Eclipse is fairly full-featured, it works quite well and has a bit of refactoring support.

You may be able to use the Flex SDK and FlashDevelop on windows alone and save using the mac. Both of these tools are free. FlashDevelop uses C# I think (or some other .net) so it wouldn't work on the mac.
