Have Pentadactyl call gVim for editing textboxes

Pentadactyl is a must-have addon for Firefox, which enables browsing with vim-like bindings. The best part of all: You can actually press Ctrl-I to have Pentadactyl spawn a full gVim while in any textbox.

Which means using gVim with web-based gmail is now possible :)

If Pentadactyl complains it cannot find gVim and you're on Windows, make sure to add C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim73 to your %PATH%, by going to Computer Properties / Advanced System Settings / Environmental variables... and adding this directory to your user path.
