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.
