Noting Schwern's suggestions (thanks!), I enabled MozEx to edit TEXTAREA
boxes with function key F2, calling "xterm -e vim %t" on my linux/firefox
browser. Works OK. Good to know about!
I could not get "Its all text" to work - the edit button comes up, but
left-click does nothing. I have just "vim" in the editor preference
box. What should go in that box? How is this supposed to work?
