<p>With <a href="https://github.com/pixelgrade/pixcodes" rel="nofollow ugc">PixCodes</a> you can have a shortcode insert interface.</p>
<p>The awesome part is that you can filter any shortcode parameters or overwrite any shortcode template with your theme.</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> this plugin does not add any style to the output of shortcodes.</p>
<p>We believe that shortcodes functionality should be offered by a plugin and the style should be provided by themes.</p>
<p>Here is a <a href="http://github.com/pixelgrade/pixcodes/blob/master/README.md" rel="nofollow ugc">detailed documentation</a> about how you can configure some plugin settings and output.</p>


PixCodes

PixCodes offers you a nice interface to add shortcodes into editor.
