Thanks a lot for these! Yes, I will look into creating a merge request for the
docs.

But in fact, if you do not care about adding a default value, in case there is
no selection, you can simply write (snippet tab):
${view.selectedText()}
Would you like to create a merge request adding some illustrative examples?

In RKWard we use the following in the snippet tab (example):
${rangeCommand("**%%1**", "Bold")}
where rangeCommand is defined as (in the scripts tab):
function rangeCommand(command, def) {
if (view.selectedText().length > 0) {
return command.replace("%%1", view.selectedText());
} else {
return command.replace("%%1", def);
}
}
This puts the selected text inside "**" markup, or inserts "**Bold**", in case
nothing is selected. That took quite some experimenting to figure out,
indeed
