Use vim or emacs, say, to edit web inputs. Unlike similar tools:
- This also works with contentEditable inputs (such as those found on GMail or Google's Inbox).
- This updates the input whenever the file is written, so you can preview your changes as you go along, without having to close your editor.
- This sets the file extension appropriately, so your text editor can detect the correct file type (".txt" for regular inputs, and ".html" for contentEditable inputs).
- Optionally (and experimentally), you can use Markdown to edit contentEditable inputs (for example, you can compose GMail messages using Markdown). See the web page for details.
For more information (or to report issues), see the project web page: https://github.com/smblott-github/text-aid-too#text-aid-too.
You will also have to install the text-aid-too server. The instructions are on the web page, above.
This is not compatible with other text-aid servers. It doesn't use HTTP, but uses web sockets instead.
What's new?
- With server version 1.0.5, added experimental support for writing markdown for text from contentEditable inputs (e.g. the GMail compose window).
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
