Online editor support for Tampermonkey's userscripts
What is Tampermonkey Editors?
"Tampermonkey Editors" is a Chrome extension that enables users to edit their Tampermonkey userscripts directly on vscode.dev. Simply click the extension icon to access a grouped list of scripts by namespace, allowing you to edit userscripts, storage files, and required scripts effortlessly. It supports Tampermonkey versions 5.0 and up while offering features like background modification warnings. However, it is still in development with several features like script creation and folder search on the TODO list.

Recent reviews
Отлично работающее расширение. Открывает онлайн редактор VSCode для дальнейшей работы с кодом UserScript из Tampermonkey. Ещё за месяц использования ни разу не подвело.
It works perfectly, but you must:
Enable (deprecated) synchronous mutation events
Mutation Events are a deprecated set of events which cause performance issues. Disabling this feature turns off Mutation Events. NOTE: Disabling these events can cause breakage on some sites that are still reliant on these deprecated features. – Mac, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, Lacros
#mutation-events
Go to chrome://flags
search for Mutation.
And Enable it.
Click the tampermonkey editors extension icon in your browser (you may want to pin that).
No longer working. Launches a VSCode with nothing open, when you try to open the recent folder the result is: "No extension is there to communicate."
