Start editing via context menu #131

Setup

Browser: Firefox Editor: N/A

Description

It would be nice to be able to start editing a text area by right-clicking and selecting an appropriate option from the context menu. I'm used to doing this with It's All Text.

This could also save having to deal with the "there are multiple text areas" popup, since it should know which text area the context menu is for.

Good idea. You could also skip that step by clicking in the field first and then activating GhostText (via button or keyboard shortcut). This feature only works with textareas I think.

PR welcome. This should be "as easy as" using chrome.contextMenus.create to run the handleAction function, similarly to what already exists:

Indeed. I had a go at this, and it seems to be unnervingly straightforward.
