still not appearing in command palette for me

[jvsteiner]

not sure if I am doing something wrong though. anyway, I also figure that the shell commands plugin allows the functionality I wanted, which is to pass the selected text (via stdin) to a running script, and read the output from stdout - replacing the currently selected text. This gives me all the functionality I was looking for, and the potential for most other things I can imagine. Since I already depend on it for other parts of my workflow related to other non-python executables, I have decided to reduce the number of plugins I have installed, and consolidate on the other one. Thanks very much for the responsiveness - and good luck with your studies!

That seems like the best choice, I don't really have time to maintain this so I might do the same, thanks for all the help
