Use your text editor in the browser

Troubleshooting

Is GhostText correctly configured?
Try activating it on this page, it should pick up this field:

There's also a testing page with more fields.

Errors

No supported fields found

If you’re seeing this message, the page you’d like to use GhostText on doesn’t have any compatible fields:

• <textarea> elements
• contentEditable areas: like in Gmail
• CodeMirror editors: used on CodePen, JSFiddle, JS Bin, …
• Ace editor: used on AWS, Khan Academy, Wikipedia, …

Unable to connect to the editor

If you’re seeing this message, the browser extension can’t find the GhostText server running in an editor. Ensure that:

• Your editor is open
• Its GhostText extension is installed; Install it from the list of supported editors if you haven’t already.
• The GhostText server is running; with most editor extensions it is started automatically.
• The server port matches; it’s 4001 by default, but can be changed in the options.
• There are no other process occupying the port. For example what happens when you open http://localhost:4001? The page should return details about WebSocket and the editor should start a new connection.

If it still doesn’t work, try again in Sublime Text, it’s the main supported editor of GhostText.
