✨ New Features
• Context Menu Integration
Added a context menu (open it with right click) option to launch the external editor directly.
This feature is enabled by default and can be toggled in the extension settings.
🎨 UI & UX Improvements
• Options Page Modernization
The settings page has been redesigned for improved usability and aesthetics:
• System theme support (dark/light)
• Unified typography and layout
• Improved phrasing and readability
• Smooth transitions
• Bee-themed visual accents
The icon has been redesigned for better visual integration in browser UIs (including context menus).
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 --nofork2. 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.
