TextEditAid - Chrome Extension for Textarea Editing
TextEditAid is a Chrome extension designed primarily for editing the contents of textarea on any website. It involves making an ajax request to a web server where a graphical editor or any operation can be done as desired. Options allow you to configure the used URL. Activation of this extension is indicated by a clickable icon when a textarea is selected. It also supports keyboard shortcut activation. Using this extension requires a server script like the edit-server script available at http://opencoder.net/edit-server.

User reviews
This extension does not work on Youtube. The only reason I installed this is because Youtube textarea goes back to previous page when I am just trying to select a word with alt-left arrow that works on every site but Youtube. Google developers are really incompetent. I mean why would they even think of mapping this common key combination to Back?
