Cool idea. Stuff like this reminds me why I like the vim ecosystem so much. At least since the introduction of terminal buffers, most people I know that use vim for serious code work have a form of "send text under cursor to shell"

Helix and Emacs have that built in by the way

Org mode is stellar at that "code in document" tangling, but I'll be honest that I loathe the M-| behavior in emacs since, unlike its vim friend, it puts the output in a separate buffer, placing the burden upon me to copy/cut it back into the source buffer

You can add a prefix arg to replace the region with the result. (Any numeric prefix works, so I usually do M-0 M-| since that's easy to type with the meta key held down, and 0 and | are close together.)

Just add a prefix arg to replace the region you run it on: C-u M-|
