For Mac users to use their favorite text editor everywhere. QuickCursor allows you to edit text from any application in your favorite text editor*. QuickCursor provides a standard open source solution that doesn’t require input manager hacks to work.
Today QuickCursor is a useful app. It allows you to edit text from a text field in one application using many of your favorite text editors:
It’s also incomplete. It works with some applications and doesn’t with others. Technically it works with any application that exposes its text to the Mac OS X Accessibility API through a single string value. One popular case where it does not work is in Mail.app.
With some work I think it could be made to work in other places, but I don’t have time to do that now. If you are a developer and are interested in helping make QuickCursor better the code is open source.
