problem inserting text from menu-action

You should also wrap your writeAction into a runnable under
CommandProcessor.getInstance().executeCommand();

But it would be much easier and safe if you use EditorAction instead of
AnAction. This would like as:

public class InsertAction extends EditorAction {
public InsertAction() {
super(new Handler());
}

public static class Handler extends EditorWriteActionHandler {
public void executeWriteAction(Editor editor, DataContext dataContext) {
EditorModificationUtil.insertStringAtCaret( editor, "test" );
}
}
}

This construct will run all writeActions, commands for you and also check if
file is read-only and will prompt user for VSS action if needed.

Thx! works like a charm!

Is there any way I can get IDEA to apply code formatting to the inserted
text? Maybe I could invoke the Ctrl-Alt-L feature programatically?

regards!

Yes, you can invoke action with id "ReformatCode" but one will launch a
prompt dialog.
