Hi,

I really want to be able to specify a helper app for "View Page Source" in the
preferences. Why? Because no matter how good the source viewer gets, it won't
please everyone. And I want to be able to open the currently displayed document
in an _editor_ - to edit it, save it. Especially useful for local pages! Hit
"View Page Source", make your changes, save it, back to Phoenix, reload. 

What ya' think?

Best regards,
Eike Hein

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Proposal:
1. Specify helper app for page source.
2. Hit "View Page Source" while looking at a page.
3. Page source now opened in the specified helper app (text editor, etc.).
