Wish this worked with Google forms, however this will save your text when the browser crashes

I use it with Emacs, the best way is to assign a keystroke to it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts

I love this extension and use it quite a lot. We have lots of web applications where Markdown syntax is recognized and in combination with SublimeText it's a breeze to write documentation 😉 Also when documenting code snippets in issue tickets etc. it's really nice to have a powerful text editor integrated into the workflow.

It's a nice idea, but it's a bit of a hassle to have to open up a dedicated editor process. I remember an older plugin for Firefox (IIRC) that opened up your system editor for you, which was much more convenient, even if it didn't support bidirectional editing. I use vim, and I found it easy for the vim process to seize/lock up. I've found wasavi much more convenient, and it works much better than I expected. It's nice to have something that opens it regular vim, but not at the cost of inconvience and buggy processes.

Super useful. This + the keybinding + VSCode w/ Markdown Preview enabled makes posting on GitHub/Reddit/etc. way more streamlined & efficient.

very useful. making adding custom css via wordpress's css editors less painful. still buggy when used with VSCode. i suggest switch to Atom when using this.
