This extension does not work on Youtube. The only reason I installed this is because Youtube textarea goes back to previous page when I am just trying to select a word with alt-left arrow that works on every site but Youtube. Google developers are really incompetent. I mean why would they even think of mapping this common key combination to Back?

Lovely, I can now have chrome switch out to gvim in cygwin (and access text processors therein).

Cool, but it doesn't recognize gmail. Would be cool if you could take a look..

I love this, have been using for quite some time. With gmail's newest update, however, TextAid doesn't recognize the mail form edit field as a edit field anymore. Any chance you could take a look at it?

Merely had to set $REQUIRE_AUTH to 0, and correct the $EDITOR_CMD for the edit-server perl script process to get things working!

Awesome, ran the python server listed in the options page, and tweaked it to launch gVim instead of emacs, once I added gVim's directory to Windows' PATH and then changed the port to match the server and it works!

The options page could use some CSS though!

Can't get it to work. Doesn't seem to be sending anything to the edit-server.

Edit server is running because I can browse to edit-server which returns:

"Server is up and running. To use it, issue a POST request with the file to edit as the content body."

Have altered edit-server.pl for mvim and no authentication. When running in Terminal with --verbose, I see some output when contacting it via web browser but no output when trying to invoke TextAid in a text area. Have tried setting different key combinations, e.g. Ctrl-M, Ctrl-Alt-E, etc. Can't find anything that produces a response.

I'm running:

Chrome 17.0.963.56
OS X 10.6.7
MacVim editor (/usr/local/bin/mvim)

I'd like to get this to work. Any suggestions for further debugging?

Thanks,
Mike
