how to setup gvim as view source editor for Opera?
Hi, I've forgotten how to setup gvim as view source editor for Opera (got a new Vista PC). Also can anyone recommend the best solution for FireFox, I've only got the one where viewing source with vim is an additional option -- zzapper http://SuccessTheory.com/tips/ vim, zsh success tips

Type source in the filter box and hit ENTER. Double-click on the entry for view_source.editor.external so its value changes to true. Then double-click on the entry for view_source.editor.path and enter the path to your Vim in there. Then close the tab. That should do it! ### Excellent### Thanks -- zzapper http://SuccessTheory.com/tips/ vim, zsh success tips

In Firefox, type about:config into the URL bar and hit ENTER. Type source in the filter box and hit ENTER. Double-click on the entry for view_source.editor.external so its value changes to true. Then Don't have that entry on my version of Firefox (Windows, v. 1.5.0.10) Maybe some other upstart plugin editor clobbered it? Thanks, Jack

Thanks, Jack According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/View_source.editor.external http://kb.mozillazine.org/View_source.editor.path these prefs work in Firefox 2 but not in Firefox 1.5. You can either upgrade to Fx2 or go hunting on one or more of the following sites for an extension that will allow you to use an external editor on the view-source page: http://addons.mozilla.org/ http://www.extensionsmirror.de/ http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/ For more questions about Firefox, set up a newsgroup account for news.mozilla.org and subscribe to the mozilla.support.firefox newsgroup. That newsgroup is not mirrored on Usenet servers. IIRC, the following link may help: nntp://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.support.firefox Best regards, Tony. -- New Year's Eve is the time of year when a man most feels his age, and his wife most often reminds him to act it. -- Webster's Unafraid Dictionary

Also can anyone recommend the best solution for FireFox, I've only got the one where viewing source with vim is an additional option The Firefox plugin that does this is ViewSourceWith. It works for any Firefox from 1.0 to 2.0.0.*. It includes a setting that makes the selected editor the default for the View Page Source menu item, so you don't need to mess with about:config. It's not just for viewing source, either; it also allows you to use your favorite editor to edit text areas. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/394/ I use the same plugin on both my Linux and Windows installations of Firefox.
