File and Line number does not link to file.

Hello,

in the devtools console filename and line provide a link to open the file at the given line in source code view, which is very useful if working with a local server. Will this be implemented for the FirePHP pane as well? Would be even more useful if it opened a (configurable) local editor.

Yes. I plan on supporting:

• the remote viewing of the source file if the Insight library is used (which provides the backend to serve the files) as well as
• open the file in local editor

I have to investigate how to open file in local editor. Unless devtools has the needed APIs we may need to use runtime.sendNativeMessage() along with a mini PHP/NodeJS server to handle the native messages and run the system command.

Suggestions welcome.

FF can be already configured to use an external editor. See view_source.editor in about:config Furthermore there is an extension which aims to do this: https://github.com/asamuzaK/withExEditor but this is not very convenient (and doesn't work in devtools)
