"As someone who uses BBEdit to work with text as much as possible, QuickCursor lets me do so for virtually every bit of text I need to type." — Dan Frakes, Macworld

For a better text editing experience. QuickCursor brings your favorite text editor* to any app with a global keyboard shortcut. Unlike manually copying and pasting between apps, QuickCursor automates the entire process to save you time.

• Why QuickCursor?

  I created QuickCursor because my own proprietary “Edit in WriteRoom” plugin stopped working on OS X 10.5. With QuickCursor I decided to start over and make a generic (Doesn't require WriteRoom) solution that didn’t use any private API’s or similar hacks.

  QuickCursor is for sale in the Mac App Store, but the source code is also available on Github. I appreciate your support (please buy it), and if you are a developer please have fun with the source code, but please don't create a clone to compete with QuickCursor.

  "What I’ve been waiting for…This’ll let me ‘jump out’ to write in the editor of my choice and the quickly back in with the written text. Simple, easy to use, and effective."

  "Simply Awesome…With a simple configurable keystroke, I can send text to either WriteRoom or TextMate depending on the task. It’s fantastic."

  "Great for popping LaTeX markup from Scrivener into a text editor that supports syntax highlighting and snippet expansion, then popping the finished markup back into the section you were working on."

  "Years of half-backed solution, cobbled together scripts, and unholy plugins have convinced me that this problem would never be solved. But now I can edit everything in MacVim."
