Plugin for external editors (e.g.visual studio code)

Hi,

a valued coleague wants to use an external editor (in his case VS-Code) to create and modify XWiki-pages. Is there a tool to do such things?

Has anyone good-practices to work outside the browser editors?

Thanx and a nice weekend to wish all of you.

I remember using a browser extension for this a long time ago (it was inserting something like an “open in external editor” button next to each textarea and saving in the editor was updating the textarea content). I could not recommend a specific one now, but there seems to exist a few of those on Search results for "external editor" – Add-ons for Firefox (en-US) (I guess it’s true for Chrome too) for example.

You might want to keep an eye on https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/cli which aim at making it easier to edit any part of XWiki with any editor (it’s not very active, but I know some people are using it and want to improve it).
