One of the most common annoyances for Joomla administrators is the trouble it takes to enter HTML, Javascript or other code directly into articles. The developers at Anything Digital, makers of extensions such as sh404SEF and JCal Pro, have released Editor Switcher, an extension that enables on-the-fly switching between Joomla editors without the need of going into the Global configuration, updating the editor and going back into the article again when entering code in articles.

Anything-digital.com describes it this way, "when you need to edit a module or article that contains code normally stripped out by most WYSIWYG editors, Editor Switcher allows you to avoid the rather tedious task of switching the editor in Joomla's global configuration area (both before AND after editing the content) and thus saves time and frustration."

After installation, users are given a drop-down menu in the administration area that allows switching between all available editor options, "so that you never have to navigate away from your content to make changes with the appropriate editor (or no editor at all)."

Joomla administrators have also had the option of using the identically named extension from joomler.net; however, this extension is still on version 1.0.1 and was last updated September 9, 2009.
