Codemirror: Getting an already built instance

[Pomax]

I can't find any mention in the documentation on how to obtain a reference to a CodeMirror instance after the fact (i,e, created in an in closure). I'm writing some bookmarklets at the moment and can't find any way to hook into a page's codemirror instance. Is there a CodeMirror.getInstances() or CodeMirror.getFromTextArea() that can be used to obtain a reference for further work?

The constructor will set a CodeMirror property on the wrapping DOM node it creates which refers to the editor instance.

ah, useful! This might need a small section in the user manual near the fromTextArea etc. functions.

really important to write a small example of how to get instance of Codemirror from textArea
