- by Dyno Fu, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5it used to be easy to setup and work seamlessly.
but seems broken recently. firefox => vim works, vim=> firefox not.
as chrome <=> vim works both way i think it's the problem of this add-on.
i am on firefox 80.0b2 (64-bit) mac.
EDIT: it's only broken on jupyterlab, but it's my main use case. pastebin works good. - by Firefox user 14479636, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5

- by R0flcopt3r, 2 years agoRated 4 out of 5Works extremely well with Emacs, and makes typing long texts on websites such as Git{Lab,Hub} a breeze! Sometimes it spawns two Emacs frames, and only one of them works.
The FireFox description is not completely up to date compared to the GitHub readme. - by kilobug, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5

- by Firefox user 14526277, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5Love the idea but please add keyboard shortcut or option to automatically trigger it when focusing a text input.
- by Firefox user 12371102, 3 years agoRated 4 out of 5It's quite nice. But it's useless without triger hotkey in many cases.
- by Firefox user 14144626, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5This is great! I used It's All Text! for many years before it broke with the big Firefox plugin system refactor. I'm particular happy that this plugin works with GMail's fancy compose box!
Suggestion: list Emacs with the "Compatible editors" here at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghosttext/, like you do in the GitHub README. - by Stone Amber, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5Awesome replacement addons of It's All Text, it make coding more smooth. You'd never miss it.

- by Firefox user 14276680, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5Realtime sync between the text area and the editor is unique and really feels great to use.
- by Firefox user 14035157, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5The next best thing to integrating Firefox into Emacs. ;-)
- by Kot, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5Just installed it. This is magic!
I have encountered a problem where I can't seem to stop GhostText add-on from syncing with my Sublime Text. But later on I found out that if I close the GhostText tab in Sublime Text directly than the connection is closed. Instead if I leave the tab open, but click on GhostText button in the upper-right corner in attempt to turn it off, the textarea will stay blue and the connection is not closed. - by Golga, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5

- by sw1ayfe, 5 years agoRated 5 out of 5Takes a little more to setup than most add-ons, but if you type a lot of text or code into website text fields give it a go.
I used this to help fill out an EU consultation and it worked a treat. Those forms have dozens of pages with teeny text fields, and integrating Atom not only was more manageable, but had my dark theme and installed packages too! - by Firefox user 13186330, 5 years agoRated 4 out of 5I have been using ItsAllText on Linux with the Emacs editor for a long time. When this extension became unsupported, I started searching for a replacement. I am happy with GhostText, which works well enough. Note that Emacs requires atomic-chrome in order to work with GhostText. Thank you!
I didn't give 5 stars because sometimes GT gets a bit confused and the editor unsyncs from GhostText. But it might be a problem with the editor extension.
