Those are not global windows type commands. You will find that type of command in some editors, e.g., NoteTab (including the free version). I've got a NoteTab-centric PowerPro configuration that can be shared. Among other things it allows a NoteTab scriptlet to be assigned to a hotkey and/or processed in response to clicking on a PowerPro bar. NoteTab has the type of HTML scriptlets you described. Otherwise, depending on the edit control being used by your editor, it is theoretically possible to access those functions within your editor's process with PowerPro but not easy. The easiest way to accomplish the task with PowerPro (where it will work with any editor) is to write a script that would: 1. Save the Clipboard 2. Clear the Clipboard 3. Use keystrokes to copy to the clipboard 4. Alter the content of the clipboard as desired 5. Paste the altered text back to the application so it will replace any highlighted text or insert at the current position. 6. Clear the Clipboard 7. Restore the original content to the clipboard.
