Hi,

you can use EditorManager::currentEditor() to get the editor.
You receive an IEditor object, which you have to cast to ITextEditor.
ITextEditor define the function insert(const QString& string)....

sample code:

if(IEditor*editor=EditorManager::currentEditor()){
if(TextEditor::ITextEditor*textEditor=qobject_cast<TextEditor::ITextEditor*>(editor))
textEditor->insert(QString("Helloworld"));
}

Don't forget to add the TextEditor Plugin as a dependencie to your plugin :)

BR,
David
