“Want to use your favorite text editor to write text for online
applications? Check out It’s All Text!

“This add-on allows you to edit text from any “textarea” on a
Web page in an external editor. Once it’s installed, you can
configure the extension to use whatever your favorite editor
happens to be. In my case Vim (GVIM, in this case), but you could
also use Gedit, Kate, or any other editor that you prefer.

“When you’re browsing, you’ll see a tiny blue button on the
corner of textareas on any Web page. Doesn’t matter how large or
small. Just click that and it’ll launch the external editor and you
can type away.”
