Screen can do this because it includes a terminal emulator. If ELinks allowed you to run an external editor within a tab, ELinks would have to interpret terminal control codes from the editor's output and translate them in order to avoid overwriting its title/menu bar, tab bar, and status bar. And then ELinks would also have to recognize a command key like Screen does, preferably a changeable one. This all gets rather complex and I think it would be better to instead run ELinks within Screen and change ELinks to open a new Screen window for the external editor. Before that however, bug 181 would have to be fixed. Bug 181 - External editor only can be launched from master session http://bugzilla.elinks.cz/show_bug.cgi?id=181 (I think this should say "master terminal", not "master session". See the comment above struct session in src/session/session.h.) I too use Emacs. When I edit an HTML textarea in Emacs, it is usually for a comment to be posted in Bugzilla; thus the textarea is initially empty, and I can type the comment e.g. in *scratch* before I tell ELinks to run the external editor. Then I just copy the edited comment to ELinks' temporary file and dismiss it. _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list [email protected] http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
