by Firefox user 13319983, 7 years agoI've been using It's All Text for years, but it's not compatible with FF 57.
Help me Textern. You're my only hope!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Silvio Levy, a year agoWorked without any difficulty at all.
Not since conkeror died have I found something this useful for interacting with a browser!
Worth remarking that for emacs uses who prefer to work with text windows, emacsclient is a good alternative to opening a new terminal (the process suggested in the instructions here). This is because emacsclient will then place the text in a new buffer in an existing instance of emacs (the one running the so-called emacs server) so you can for instance easily transfer text between buffers.
My config therefore says ["emacsclient", "+%l:%c"] and it worked the first time. Bravo, Lebon! Un nom tres adequat. - Rated 5 out of 5by parallel, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by eggyolk, 5 years agoThank you for this well-working replacement of its-all-text, which I strongly missed after mozilla's change to the WebExtension API!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Eduardo Santiago, 5 years agoOh how I've missed _It's All Text_. Thank you jlebon for providing this!

- Rated 5 out of 5by grepp , 5 years agoWorks on Debian fine with `make native-install USER=1` for "2. Install the native app."
thx - Rated 5 out of 5by rsk78n, 6 years agoBeen looking for something like this for a long time to edit online text in vim. Works perfectly, especially with a vi-like control add-on so your hands never have to leave the keyboard. Editing wikis is no longer a chore.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14770611, 6 years agoIt mimics the "It's All Text" add-on behaviour pretty well. The installation process is quite straightforward as simple Makefile is used (and there is option to install in home directory without root privileges!). Good job!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Selth, 6 years agoFinally an extension that works properly! I missed it's all text so much.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Petr Zemek, 7 years agoGreat replacement for the "It's All Text" add-on for Firefox 57+. It even passes the current caret position to the external editor (tested with GVim). Thank you very much Jonathan for creating the add-on!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13924752, 7 years agoExactly what I needed to replace itsalltext.
Using plain ["emacsclient"] as the editor works fine for me. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13867618, 7 years agoOn Ubuntu 16.04, it just works. Using it with ["gvim","-f"].
I like the docs. Good job!
