    About QuickCursor

    Altough I didn’t use QuickCursor because it was already unavailable due OSX sandbox, I find myself every now and then needing something like it.

    Overview

    You start typing in one application (e.g. a forum post, an email or a script in Apple Editor) then you realize you need a better editor or just want to type using your default text editor.

    The common thing to do is select the text, copy it to the clipboard, open the text Editor, start a New Document then paste the content. After done you have to select the text, copy it to the clipboard then bring the initial application and finally paste the new content.

    It’s not that hard but it can be faster...

    Usage
    in the initial application optionally select some text bring Alfred and type the keyword editwith now select your text editor: just start typing to find it and hit return key the editor will be opened with the text you have selected initially or blank if there was no text initially after writing, bring Alfred and type the keyword pasteback (the workflow will select the text automatically) the previous application will be displayed and the text will be pasted back In addition, the workflow saves the last used text editor so you can easily use it with a hotkey:
    Optionally select text in the initial application Hit the Edit with hotkey labeled “Copy” (the first one in the workflow) After writing hit the second hotkey named “Paste Back”. Done. You can also utilize the keyword pastebbcode so you can convert markdown into BBCode and then paste to the initial application. It can be very handy if you'd like to write a forum post with your Markdown text editor. The conversion is based on Markdown to BBCode workflow. Check the supported Markdown syntax in the workflow help (keyword editwith?).

    Yoyontzin got a reaction from mklement0 in Alfred as Text Expander   
    I have a file with abbreviation and desired expansions, for example for may LaTeX documents. I have it in Textmate and In there I can expand using this list. Do you think it is possible to make alfrd to read a list like this:
     
    ;a  \alpha
    ;b  \beta 
    ;thm  \begin{theorem} %| \end{theorem}
    ... ? 
     
    and not to have to do every single abbreviation by hand?
     
    For example I can export my TextExpander snippets in to a single document (a list). It would be perfect If I can just make Alfred to use the list to expand my snippets.

    I have tried but latexit does not support Applescript natively. There are sme workaround but before I can copy the image I need to determine when the rendering is done and this does not work. It seems impossible. Sorry.
