Summary

This extension facilitates editing of HTML node element's content within the popular Sublime Text editor, providing real-time updates upon saving the generated temporary file. Additionally, it enables external editing of "TEXTAREA," "INPUT[type=search]," and "INPUT[type=text]" elements.

There are three methods for sending content to the Sublime Editor:

  1. Activate the simple inspector using the action button, click on the HTML node, and press the ESC key to cancel the operation if needed.
  2. Use the DevTools "Elements" panel, where a new sub-pane is added. Select "Edit as HTML," choose an HTML node, and press the button to open the content in the Sublime Text editor.
  3. Right-click on a "TEXTAREA" or "INPUT[type=text]" element and use the context menu item.

This extension supports simultaneous editing of multiple nodes. Each editor has its unique temporary text file, and saving updates the content of the respective node. These files are stored in the operating system's temporary directory with random filenames.

Additionally, the extension allows the DevTools panel to convert an external script or CSS resource to an internal equivalent. This functionality enables sending the content of remote resources to the external editor.

File extensions used for temporary resource creation:

  1. HTML -> when innerHTML or outerHTML content is sent to the external editor.
  2. JS -> when editing an inline script.

While it works on websites, I could not edit local html files. Can it work on those?
by Leon Niceday Leon Niceday, 2023-04-12

Dope, af yo. I use a lot of html in my work email (tech support) and it's handy af to be able to grab an element off another webpage, make a few tweaks to it in my unregistered copy of sublime text (like the true, OG pos that I am) and go. Installation was a breeze. The one-stars on this page can suck it. Great work, dev!
