5 starring this even though there are some limitations becuase of how wonderful of an idea it is, and how fundamentally it is starting to change my workflow. Just CTRL(ALT?) + CLICK and BAM nice vscode like editor shows up nearly instantly (nice work on loading speed btw). My only gripes are that some keyboard shortcuts are still passed through. Certain things, like hitting `[ESC]` causes the dialog to close. Thankfully the edits are saved in the textarea, but still a little jarring to the ultimate flow. If this is Open Source I might try to tinker with it one day. Even without being open source I guess I could look at the extension package. But, author, jorenm, is this open to alterations?

The idea is really cool, but it seems to be completely glitched at the moment. Text in the monaco editor is centered in the editor, while the "actual" content is still left aligned. If it's fixed, I will use it.
