I'm working on a real-time collaborative editor within Ace editor, and I couldn't find any docs on inserting text at a certain position within the editor (Aka, the position the other user types at.) Any ideas?

To insert at current position you can use ( assuming that might be what you are looking for )

editor.session.insert(editor.getCursorPosition(), text)
