Send to Editor

Send to Editor lets you inject AI-generated text directly into any active text field — an IDE, Notepad, a browser textbox, or any writable surface.

How It Works

Neoly detects your currently focused text field and inserts content at the cursor position. No clipboard is used; the text is typed directly.

Methods

1) Send full response

1. Place your cursor in a text field (IDE, browser, Notepad, etc.)
2. Ask Neoly a question and get a response
3. Click the Send to Editor button on the response
4. The full text is inserted at your cursor

2) Send highlighted text

1. Inside Neoly's response, highlight any portion of text
2. A popup appears with a Send to Editor option
3. Click it — only the highlighted text is inserted at your cursor

This is useful when you only need part of the response.

3) Send code blocks

Every code block in Neoly includes a dedicated Send to Editor button, so you can ship the exact snippet without manual copy/paste.

Best with No-Focus Mode

Send to Editor works best when combined with No-Focus Mode:

1. Enable No-Focus Mode (Ctrl+Shift+N)
2. Keep your cursor in your editor
3. Interact with Neoly — your cursor stays where it is
4. Click Send to Editor — text appears in your editor instantly

Without No-Focus Mode, clicking Neoly would steal focus from your editor, and the send would go to the wrong place.

Use Cases

Coding

Generate a function and send it directly into your IDE — no copy/paste.

Writing

Ask Neoly to rephrase a sentence, then send the result into your document.

Chat / Email

Draft a reply in Neoly and send it into the compose box.

Notes

Generate summaries or bullet points and insert them into Notepad or any notes app.

Supported Targets

Send to Editor works with any application that accepts keyboard input:

Tips

1. Use No-Focus Mode — ensures your cursor stays in the target editor
2. Highlight for precision — send only the part of the response you need
3. Code blocks have their own button — use it for clean, exact snippets
4. Works with any textbox — not limited to code editors

Troubleshooting

Text Not Appearing

1. Ensure your cursor is placed in a writable text field
2. Enable No-Focus Mode so clicking Neoly doesn't move your cursor
3. Check that the target application is accepting input

Text Goes to Wrong Place

1. Click inside the correct text field first
2. Enable No-Focus Mode to prevent focus switching
3. Verify your cursor position before sending
