Sounds very useful! I can’t get it to work, though.

The docs say “runCommand” where the method is named “run_command”, but even then, after I clone the package into ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User/uberselection, I type “view.run_command(‘uberSelection’)” at the console and nothing happens.

As jbrooksuk said, it will only work in Sublime 1.x. It will eventually be ported to Sublime 2.
