It would be useful to make the current selection (if any) available to shell scripts, for example via $VIMB_SELECTION.

@herrsimon That sound interesting! I think we could grab the selection content if a :sh command is started and set it as environment variable.

Give current selected text as environment variable $VIMB_SELECTION to
scripts called by `:shellcmd`.

@herrsimon I've added setting of the $VIMB_SELECTION env var if :shellcmd is called. Please close this issue if this work for you.
