Currently, BBEdit doesn't process apple events while it is running a  
shell script from its own #! menu. (If you run it from some other  
source, like the system wide script menu, this technique will work.)

Attached is my take on how to do this. Drop it in ~/Library/ 
Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts, assign it a keyboard equivalent if  
you'd like, and then run it.
