Firefox: MacVim or SublimeText as external Source View editor.
Have you ever wanted to use your favorite editor with your set of plugins and color scheme for “View Source Code" feature in Firefox?
So, it's pretty simple with setting just a couple options in FF.
First of all you need to open FF configuration page: just type about:config
in the address box.
Then type view_source.editor
and hit the Enter: you'll see two options:
* viewsource.editor.external
* viewsource.editor.path
Set view_source.editor.external
to true
and set a path of your favorite editor.
To see a fullpath to your editor just use where
command:
where mvim
If you want to use Sublime Text editor, you need to create a symlink for binary file and provide given path to view_source.editor.path
:
ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/sublime
where sublime
