Whenever you’re writing more than a little snippet of code anywhere on the web, activate GhostText to open your preferred text editor and enjoy your own development environment. GhostText is a browser extension that connects to your editor via its own extension. Install both extensions and, if necessary, start the GhostText server in the editor’s extension. Most editor extensions are authored by third parties. You can create more extensions for your favorite editor! Refer to the protocol document. Once you have installed both browser and editor extensions, you can activate GhostText in the current browser tab by clicking its icon in the toolbar or by using a keyboard shortcut. The editor needs to be launched first. In some editors you’ll need to run the Enable GhostText command to start the server. Refer to the documentation of each extension. Sublime Text doesn’t need this step.

Features

  • GhostText is split in two parts
  • Provides a HTTP and WebSocket server in the text editor
  • Provides a client in the browser
  • When you activate GhostText, the browser will try contacting the server in the text editor
  • Each side can close the socket (for example by closing the window) and the session will be automatically over
  • These are the default shortcuts, they can be customized in Chrome and Firefox
