Pop out editor window for page textareas
Apologies for the lack of clarity.
I dug out my old PowerBook and tracked down an old version of OmniWeb to demonstrate with the following screenshots.
I believe it worked on any textarea. At the very least it worked on just about every forum reply box I came across back then.
The UI might be a little more challenging now that scrollbar tracks aren't always visible, maybe a floating button of some sort could do the trick.
I just fired off OmniWeb 5 on Tiger, and nothing happens when I click into a text area.
I think activating on every could be jarring anyway. Interesting idea, I'd like us to think through this more.
Yeah, it doesn't trigger unless the user clicks the little button on the top end of the scroll track that the cursor is hovering over in the screenshot. Agree that it triggering upon textarea focus would be irritating.

Had trouble getting a screen recording program working on the Powerbook and had to get an emulator set up to record on a modern Mac.
The version of OmniWeb recorded is 5.1.3, which can be obtained at Macintosh Garden.
Orion has a couple of these quirky features from old browsers (eg Tools -> Show Color picker) and this would fit perfectly into the theme - and is useful.
