Abstract
Methods, apparatti and computer program products allow one or more editors to provide integrated functionality with one or more applications. The methods, systems and computer program products allow a user to select from among several editors which are not integrated with an application, yet interact with the editor and application as though the editor and application were integrated. One or more editors are assigned to each application and commands sent from each application are transformed into a command readable by the editor associated with the application. The command is sent to the editor, which is then able to display files to provide an appearance that the editor and the application are integrated. User generated commands from the editors may be sent to all of the applications or only a subset of the applications to allow the user to control one or more applications from the editor user interface.
