Can an alernate editor be launched by Mozilla? Say, Nvu instead of Composer?
An apparent way to do it is described in this Dec. 2003 webpage: http://preferential.mozdev.org/preferences.html
In it, I find these two new command lines should be added to Mozilla's pref.js (or user.js) file:
editor.html_editor - Location of outside HTML editor (blank for none)
and
editor.use_html_editor
Use an outside HTML editor (defined in editor.html_editor)
* 0 : No
* 1 : Yes
One of my various attempts (using WinXP Home, Moz 1.8.a5 and NVu 0.60) inserts these lines (and comment lines) into my user.js file, like this:
// editor.html_editor = Location of alt. HTML editor (blank for none):
user_pref("editor.html_editor", "C:\\Progra~1\\Nvu\\nvu.exe");
// AND, editor.use_html_editor = Use an outside HTML editor (defined in
// editor.html_editor), where 0 = No or 1 = Yes;
user_pref("editor.use_html_editor", 1);
But when I try this, a click on Edit, Page Edit still launches Mozilla's Composer, not Nvu. Has anyone had better luck, or can anyone offer useful tips?
