This would be an awesome feature. Has it been requested yet? Thanks,
What does it actually mean?
Like, for example, I want to pipe my current file through some command that would add some code at a specific point (say extract some lines to a new function), and outputs a snippet. It would be as if I ran the command with all the text selected and set the output to "replace with snippet", except this way I can still get the current word or selected text to pass as input to my command.
Is that clearer? ___________________ Ben Jackson Diretor de Desenvolvimento

Ah okay -- for now you can do a macro that does Select All and then Filter Through Command… which calls your script -- in that script, TM_LINE_NUMBER and TM_LINE_INDEX will reflect where the caret was before the select all (so you'll have to find current word yourself, and won't know if there was a selection).
As for making this an explicit option, I may allow this later. I'm mostly concerned with the complexity of the options, and am trying to find some simpler system, like e.g. have an “and remove it” in addition to the input options, which would slightly shorten the output options and allow for e.g. the combination you seek, though then it wouldn't be possible to have the selection replace the document, or the document replace the selection (granted, with $TM_SELECTED_TEXT this could partly be simulated, should someine really need it).
