Yes, I'm looking into supporting drag'n'drop and pasting of colors this 
instant -- hopefully I can integrate this nicely with the 
drag-commands.

I'm also open for the mentioned palettes as long as this is a generic 
system -- I'm thinking something like just a new output option for 
commands (and the format would then be XML or similar). It would be 
more than palettes, more like custom UI with definable actions since it 
could then also be used for file templates (those which require 
additional options) and most likely also for e.g. having commands open 
menus for a further choice, similar to what Ian (?) requested for his 
PHP completion.

But I think if it's just added on top of the existing system it will be 
to clumsy -- I need to rework this to be "simpler".

It currently bogs me that the user needs to set how to interpret the 
output from commands, especially since a command can't then change it 
at run-time. OTOH it does simplify a lot of commands, since they then 
won't have to output structured text.
