Personally, I find the context of scripts so informative that I tend to use the Project Browser for things like that. With the PB I can get to any script very quickly, but unlike one big text file I also get to know where the script came from.
But if viewing the scripts out of context is preferred, my go-to solution for that is LiveCode: just make a simple stack with one field, and a button that lets me select any file and put its contents into the field. And since you're using LC you could also strip out any non-ASCII parts, possibly worth the modest effort in allowing you to have a clean listing.
Another option with LC would be to write a script that worms through the project and writes all of the scripts to a text file. There are many such tools in the community, and the benefit there is that most of them also include at least the object name the script came from so you'll have some idea of the original context of the script.
