external-edit is a GNU/Linux shell script which enables any editor to be launched as an external editor for any application.
The script is still under development but it currently works for applications which use the standard windows key-board shortcuts: Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-V and also works for Mozilla-Firefox. More applications should be added when I have the time.
The script depends on the following packages:
- standard xbase-clients
- xautomation
- wmctr
