Opening source map files in a local editor from devtools

[ke...@keminglabs.com]

I'm using SASS source maps in Canary (command-click a CSS property to see the originating line in the SASS file).

However, what I really want to do is open the SASS file in my local editor (e.g., Emacs, Vi, Sublime Text, &c.).

I've done a lot of digging, and there's no obvious way to do this.

As far as I can tell, the only thing that would work is to use a forked version of the dev tools via a Chrome extension and have it either:

+ use NPAPI calls (https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/npapi.html) to run a system command, or

+ send requests to a server running on localhost that can spawn an editor

Am I missing something, or would this be the easiest way to open up source map sources in a native editor?

thanks,

Kevin

Oh, this looks right, thanks!

Any suggestions for how to make the native call to open the editor?

Some tricks within Chrome or do I need a local server to do the dirty work?

From what I saw folks usually use some simple node.js script for that.

http://www.livingdigitally.net/2012/06/controlling-web-based-music-players-with-global-keyboard-shortcuts.html is a nice and simple example of controlling Google Music with the global shortcuts through a chrome extension. Should be fairly straightforward to adopt it for your use case.
