How to invoke EER from compose window?

Description
The original external editor allowed me to start up an editor from an existing compose window. This allowed my normal flow to be to compose in Thunderbird's window until a message got complex, or required reformatting, or the like, and switch to emacs at that point.
Environment
- OS: macOS
- Thunderbird version: 91.11.0 (64-bit)
- ExtEditorR extension version: 0.3.0
Configuration
{
"name": "external_editor_revived",
"description": "Edit emails in external editors such as Vim",
"path": "/users/chris/bin/aquamacs",
"type": "stdio",
"allowed_extensions": [
"external-editor-revived@tsundere.moe"
]
}
? There's an External Editor button in composing window, so simply click on it when you feel like it? Is this not what you wanted?
I missed that button. I'll look for it when I'm on that machine next. Thanks!
But I'm mostly a keyboard guy. Is it possible to bind a keystroke to that button? (I haven't looked to see if it's in a menu yet. Will do that later today.)
Thanks for the links.
I now have external-editor-revived in my ~/bin directory, with permissions at 755.
external_editor_revived.json is in the appropriate MacOS directory with
"name": "external_editor_revived",
"path": "/Users/chris/bin/external-editor-revived",
I have the command template set to
/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/bin/aquamacs --nofork "/path/to/temp.eml"
Each time I hit my keyboard shortcut in an editor window, I see ExtEditorR sending in the Error console, but nothing happens in aquamacs.
Further back in the Error Console, I see ExtensionError: No such native application external_editor_revived, followed by several copies of
658598585189 addons.webextension.<unknown> WARN Loading extension 'null': Reading manifest: Warning processing legacy: An unexpected property was found in the WebExtension manifest.
Do you have any suggestions for what I should try next? I don't know what "No such native application" might indicate.
