Do you have a good way to modify contenteditable divs from the extension? I'm working on one and we're having a hell of a time trying to come up with One Way to do input updates but everyone's contenteditables behave slightly differently.
Like I just want to be able to ask
* what is the content of this input field
* what is the selected text in the field
* please replace the content of the field with this new content
but the API there is really rough and there's tons of edge cases. Is there some library you use?
- purple-leafy 2y agoHmm this isn’t something I’ve dealt with before, what kind of sites are you targeting? Wordpress sites? I ask because you mention “div” but are talking about input fields You would probably use a content script and set world to “MAIN” and search for the contenteditable attribute on first guess
- BWStearns 2y agoI’m targeting any input fields. So like, standard input boxes like HN, but also weird input fields like a google doc or notion page.
