Any macro program (like, I don't know, Keyboard Maestro, for
example ;-) can do this.
Simply simulate Copy/Cut (Command-C/X) (better yet, both), then
execute the shell script like pbpaste | sh | pbcopy, then Paste.
You may need to allow a delay between the Cut and the script
execution. And, of course, this is fraught with peril if you select
the wrong chunk of text or the Cut fails for any reason (like no
selection).
For safety, in Keyboard Maestro, I would be tempted to do:
Set Clipboard to Text: echo Nothing Copied
Simulated Command-C (handle readonly text)
Simulate Command-X (cut if possible)
Delay 0.2s
Execute script pbpaste | sh | pbcopy
Simulate Command-V
By setting the clipboard initially, you avoid a lot of potential
disasters.
Enjoy,
Peter.
