Support divs with contenteditable=true

[davidshepherd7]

Google inbox uses a div with contenteditable="true" instead of a textarea for email composition (which seems like a stupid idea to me...). It would be great if itsalltext could support editing this.

I might have a go at implementing this myself, do you think it's possible? Any pointers?

I don't think it would be hard to implement this. See discussion in #36.

But keep in mind that contenteditable elements usually contain HTML code, so what you will edit with the external editor will be pure HTML.

I had a quick attempt, I got it sort of working by just adding

(tag == 'div' && node.getAttribute('contenteditable') == "true")

to the expression for is_disabled in onContextMenu. However it seemed
be flaky: sometimes the button wouldn't appear and sometimes the context
menu wouldn't appear. It wasn't obvious to me why this was happening, but
then I don't really know what I'm doing with Firefox extensions.

But the main problem is the html, as you said. I don't think that's going
to be a convenient way to write emails. Probably the best fix at this point
is to pester google to add an option to use plain text (there's one for
gmail, so hopefully they'll do it eventually).

I'm not sure if I should close this or not. It's really not a problem that can be addressed generically.
