# Module `open_editor`

Edit the contents of text inputs in an external editor

This module allows you to edit the contents of the currently focused text input in your preferred text editor. The focused text input is disabled, and a text editor window will open with the current input contents. After you have finished editing, save the file and quit the editor; the text input will be enabled and its contents will be set to that of the saved file.
