    Hi.  Yes that does work well but it's awkward and not as
    convenient as what I'm suggesting.  Here's an example workflow:

    - Select a textarea.
    - activate the "edit in editor" function somehow (context menu,
      keyboard shortcut, automatic, etc.).  Editor pops up with
      contents of textarea.
    - Edit away
    - Save and quit, textarea has your edits.

    Vs.

    - Run editor.
    - Copy contents of textarea.  This can be hassle if there's a lot
      of data to copy.
    - Paste into editor
    - Edit away
    - Delete text from textarea
    - Copy text in your editor
    - Paste text into textarea
    - Quit editor

    All-and-all I feel it's a convenience feature for folks who need
    to use a lot of web apps.
