Ace editor - insert text at position

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)

use editor.session.insert(position, text) where position is an object of the form {row:number, column:number} However this alone won't help to make collaborative editor. take a look at share.js which supports Ace.
