Description

This is a feature request to add support for the great quickcursor app.

It's an app that lets you edit any text in any app (e.g. in this Github Issues text input field) in your favorite text editor (MacDown!). Just press a shortcut, and the app opens, and text is pasted back into the correct field when the text window is closed.

I created an issue about support for this in the quickcursor app, but looks like there is something which needs to be added to the text editor itself for this to work properly. Link to issue here: https://github.com/jessegrosjean/quickcursor/issues/41#issuecomment-291887543
