- Rated 5 out of 5by JasonM23, 2 years agoRelatively simple to install and use in Emacs, (of course on Firefox side it's a click or two.)
I can also confirm that it works fine with Emacs-mac on Macos (for at least the last several years of emacs versions). - Rated 5 out of 5by Danny Navarro, 3 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13954098, 5 years agoWorks great. I just had to install `edit-server' with `M-x package-install edit-server RET' and add
(require 'edit-server)
(edit-server-start)
to my init file. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jorge, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13512248, 7 years agoThis is a life saver and can replace the no longer working It'ts All text extension (under condition that you know how to use the Emacs editor).
I use it for example to edit "technical" Mediawiki pages. - Rated 5 out of 5by Emmanuel Halbwachs, 7 years agoI was a happy user of It's all Text, which stopped working with Firefox 57+. When searching for a replacement, I found Textern, but it was cumbersome with this third-party python edit server (but editor agnostic, for sure). For Emacs users, the edit server is a package on MELPA, so installation is straightforward. The counterpart is that it's Emacs-specific.
I can now happily edit text areas with my editor of choice again. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alex Golubev, 7 years agoBeautiful. Spreading the Emacs power and love everywhere. The Lisp Machine lives on haha!
- Rated 5 out of 5by tangxinfa, 7 years agoIt works very well, good job.
Suggest put the following documention in the readme for easy to use:
1, Install edit-server in emacs
It's in "Settings->Information"
2, Start editing in firefox with shortcut key "Alt+Enter" when focused on textarea
It's in "Settings->configuration", please enable "Alt+Enter" by default.
3, The actions support by edit buffer
`C-c C-c` to done edit - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13701094, 7 years agoI love emacs and I've been looking for this kind plug-ins for firefox!
It's very helpful when I edit web based BTS. Thanks a lot! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13658325, 7 years agoI love this add-on. It does exactly what I want. Thank you so much!
- Rated 4 out of 5by HippoMan, 7 years agoI'm very glad for this extension, and it works well. Good work! However, there is one issue: on certain sites, the text boxes have buttons in the lower-right corner where this add-on puts its own "Edit" button. In some cases, this is a "Post Message" button, and when I try to click on "Edit", my message gets prematurely posted.
It would be helpful if one of the options for this add-on would be for us to override the default location of the edit button within text boxes.
I know that I can still edit using the button in the toolbar, but it still would be desirable to be able to specify a different default edit-button location for text boxes.
It would also be desirable for this add-on to optionally launch emacs with a specific environment variable or command-line option, if it doesn't recognize any existing emacs sessions with `edit-server` running. I could write emacs startup code to recognize this environment variable or command-line option and if it appears, to then launch `edit-server` within my startup code, so that it could be used within this app.
But again, good add-on, and good work!
