Use "External editor"

The internal editor in Framer X is fine, but sometimes it's buggy and sluggish. You can change it to use an external editor from the menu: View => Editor => External.

Pro tip: Using an external editor is a big time saver when you want to work on the code and see the design canvas at the same time.
