Hey,
Thanks a lot for this, looks really sweet. Definitely better than "it's all text." My only gripe is that it doesn't open an editor for the current text area, but rather gives me a drop down box with a list of names of text areas.
Hah! I've never noticed that before .. at least you can select the named message box w/ the numbers so you don't have to move your fingers from the keyboard :-)
If I've got my cursor in a particular text area then I want to edit that one obviously...any ideas how I make that happen?
I agree ... I don't really know how to make this happen -- you could probably send an email to the developer to see if there's a quick hack or something to get it to work that way.
Possibly there is no straightforward way of getting the textarea that currently has focus when writing extensions - there isn't in JS, to my knowledge.
I faked it in a userscript by setting a CSS property on :focus and then looking for that property with JS - see get_focused_form() over at http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/1595. Might want to suggest that to the developer, if finding the focused form is why there is no such functionality.
