The Ultimate Program Option
I use a Firefox plug-in called “It’s All Text”. It is a very simple plug-in that simply adds a small “Edit” button on text boxes. Once configured, you can click this edit button from any web page and edit the text box in your favorite editor. Here is a sample of how it looks.
Besides choosing the editor, it has some minor settings such as where you want the “Edit” button to be placed, how long it should remain once you’ve left the text box (it is only visible when the cursor is in the text box or the mouse is over the tetx box), etc…
But, it also has the ultimate program option. Check out the last option on its option panel.
Alas, the program seems to behave the same whether or not I change that setting.
