Text Editor

Text Editor is a free app that allows you to create, open, and edit text files on your computer and Google Drive. This extension adds "Open with Text Editor" to the right-click menu on links, so you can open a text file from a web page directly in Text Editor. All standard text editor features are supported, including syntax highlighting, font size, word wrap, tabs and spaces, printing, undo/redo, keyboard shortcuts, and more. How to use Text Editor * Right-click a link to a text file and choose "Open with Text Editor", or click the toolbar button and paste a link. * The first time you use it, Chrome asks whether the extension may access all websites, because download links often send the download on to another site. The extension uses this access only to download the link you chose, when you choose it. If you decline, it asks for one site at a time from then on. Sites that already share their files with any web page (for example raw.githubusercontent.com, cdn.jsdelivr.net, unpkg.com and GitHub Pages) open without a prompt. * The text file will be read and opened in Text Editor at texteditor.co in a new tab. You do not need to save it to your Downloads folder first. * If the file cannot be downloaded, Text Editor opens and tells you, with a Download file button that opens the link in a new tab. * From there, you can view the file and make any changes or edits. * After edits are made, use Save to save the edited file to Google Drive or your computer. * You can also download a copy of the text file to your computer or device using the "Download" button. About Text Editor * This extension opens a text file from a link of your choice in Text Editor, letting you make changes and save them to Google Drive or your computer. * Text Editor works with plain text files, web files, data files, and code files. * Standard text editor features are supported including syntax highlighting, word wrap, themes, and keyboard shortcuts. * Text Editor is a pure Javascript web app. All processing is done locally in your web browser and on your computer. The extension holds the file in the tab's memory only until Text Editor has it, and does not upload it to any server. When you open a link from a site you are signed in to, Chrome attaches your existing sign-in for that site to the download request; the extension never reads, stores or sends your cookies. * Supports HTTPS links to files up to 10 MB, including links that redirect to another site, links that need the sign-in you already have in Chrome, and Google Drive, Dropbox and GitHub share links, which the extension turns into download links. Links to your computer, your local network or a port number are not supported.
