- Rated 4 out of 5by gracefool, 5 years agoNice. Editing doesn't work on Facebook for me - text appears in the input box but isn't actually in there - it's overtop of any existing grey text and unrecognized by the browser (can't send it).
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13823307, 7 years agoIt's exactly what one needs to edit pieces of code, input fields and so on. feature-rich and easy to use. Kudos to the developer.
On the down side, it is difficult to install, which prevents non-tech users from using it, and it is not obvious to know how to debug it in case of problems or how to report problems.
Since I see no way to send bug reports, I'll do that here: version 4.2.6 stopped working for me. And I cannot find any hints about how to try and debug, or to send details to the author in these cases.Developer response
posted 7 years agoCertainly in v4.2.3 I brought such a bug, but it has already been fixed in v4.2.6.
Bug reports are accepted here, so please let me know in detail.
https://github.com/asamuzaK/withExEditor/issues - Rated 4 out of 5by Dennis McCunney, 7 years agoI was looking for a replacement for the deprecated "It's All Text" extension, which I used a *lot* to make posting stuff into text boxes a better experience. So far, withExEditor looks like it might fill the bill.
It took some doing to setup. I had to install node.js to provide the host, and go through the configuration. But I can use Ctrl-Shift-u to invoke my preferred editor (notepad2-mod) and enter content.
One suggestion I'd make would be clearer explanation on configuration. My initial setup didn't work as expected, because I needed to provide the file name to be edited in the command line that invokes the editor. Once I changed the config to specify that, things behaved as expected. For most purposes, I think making passing the file name to the editor should be the *default* action when you set up the extension.
This is a work in progress, and I expect it to improve, but what's there is a very promising start.Developer response

Thanks.
