Open Google Chrome TextArea in External Editor?
I'd prefer to use Google Chrome as my primary browser, but the one thing that's still keeping me on FF is the ability to use the add-on called "it's all text" which allows you to open a text area in your favorite external editor.
Does anyone know of a way to do this in Google's chrome? I remember seeing a sort of hack that did a copy-paste and kept track of the window id to move the text between the browser and the editor.
