Ability to invoke editor programatically

[jrust]

I'd like to be able to invoke the editor programatically so that user can click a link and have editor turn on. Right now I'm manually triggering a click event with jQuery which is less than ideal. I'm thinking another directive binding, maybe isEditing, and if it switches to true then it invokes the onClick function and when it goes false triggering the blur function. Thoughts or better solutions welcome.

I think is possible right now by doing something like this:

<h2 id="title" ng-model="myModel" content-editable>Change me if you like.</h2>

Than using angular element which is a jquery light wrapper for angular:

$scope.editTitle = function() {
  // this will start the editing mode on element
  angular.element('#title')[0].focus()
}

I didn't tested it, but i'm pretty sure it will work, let me know if you have any trouble.

Yup, something like that does work, but it just breaks the angular paradigm of keeping the html declarative. I can make a PR to try is-editing idea -- just wanted to run the implementation idea above by you.

Yes you can for sure, I will appreciate any PR or improvement suggestions!

Have you already wonder how could this work in your idea? (how to trigger the edit-mode)

Sorry for my macaronic english.
