If you aren't using Google Docs for its cloud features, I can recommend Manuskript and/or Kate. Manuskript is awesome for writing stories, I highly recommend it. However, it isn't very good for writing code. If you were doing your RenPy code in Google Docs, then Kate (K Advanced Text Editor) might be the correct option for you.

Both options run locally, so no chance of anyone stealing your work for training their AI or any other reason.

I do use GDocs for its cloud features; its the easiest program for me to use on my Windows computers in my office, my MacBook at home, my iPad, and my Android phone.  If I pretend my phone doesn't exist, then hosting all the files in my Mega drive looks to be the most viable solution.  Once I'm done writing, I copy everything into the RenPy text editor on my working computer and then work on the code that way.  I write my script in such a way that I can easily convert it to proper RenPy code

Thanks for your suggestions, though!
