Any way to add support for new editors? #41

I just got QuickCursor running and it works great with MacVim.

I tried to add MacDown as well. It shows up in the menu bar, and grabs the text and opens it correctly, but won't put the text back into the previous application after I save and close MacDown.

Anyone has an idea?

Didn't manage to get it to work with Atom either.

Sorry, I don't remember very well. I know originally that support needed to be built into the editor... they needed to post a kAEModifiedFile event. I know I thought about (maybe never actually did) changing to observe the edited file for changes using filesystem API... but looking very quickly at the code I don't see any support for that. So my guess is support needs to be build into the editor.

Thanks for your reply. I created an issue with MacDown. :)
