Commentos del disveloppatores

To use this extension:
1. Open the add-on preferences and specify a shell command to launch your preferred text editor in foreground (no-fork) mode. Examples:
- For VS Code: /usr/bin/code --wait
- For GVim: /usr/bin/gvim --nofork
2. Set a keyboard shortcut via your browser’s extension shortcut settings. Use a unique combination such as:
- Cmd + Option + E (⌘⌥E) on macOS
- Ctrl + Alt + E on Linux or Windows

If the shortcut doesn’t work (due to browser limitations), you can use the context menu:
Right-click on a text field and select “Edit in External Editor”.
This option is available starting in version 3.4.0.

Notas de version pro 3.4.2

Fixed: GitHub pull request comment and description fields now properly recognize text inserted from the external editor.

Previously, the "Comment" / "Update comment" button would remain disabled until the user manually typed into the field.

The extension now dispatches the appropriate input/change events after updating text fields, ensuring GitHub’s UI reacts immediately.

Improved compatibility with GitHub and GitHub Enterprise textareas.
