For those who don't know, it takes any text entry field (the big ones, not the single line ones) like this comment box and let's you load it up in your favourite text editor (mine is gvim, it needs to be a graphical one). Then when you save the file in the editor, it updates the text box. Simple but really useful. Especially for doing things like editing wiki pages or other things that benefit from full editor treatment.

Oops, sort of made a mistake there. But, I hope that I’ve made my point.

Ctrl-V also passes through just the next keystroke (i.e. it doesn't set up a mode), so if you just need to send keystroke to a page in firefox, just hit Ctrl-V. (Since reading the article I decided to try vimperator again and I'm liking it a lot more now. I'm more familiar with VIM now too though!) Thanks for the tip on using VIM with "It's all text" though. I'll probably stick with gvim but it's good to know.<br /> <br /> Cheers! Funny, I was just reading in the help about the pass through.

Read it later and Tag Sifter … so much better than managing bookmarks.
