Sublime Text 2: "Filter Through Command" plugin

To create a ⌥⌘R or ctrl-alt-R shortcut to "Filter through command" that

"""
Runs an external command with the selected text, which will then be
replaced by the command output.
For example, to sort the selected text with the Unix "sort" command,
open the console (cmd-` or ctrl-`), input the following and press enter:
view.run_command('run_external', dict(command="sort"))
You could add filter shortcuts for specific commands by inserting
something similar to the following in your user's keymap file:
{
"keys": ["alt+super+s"],
"command": "run_external",
"args": {"command": "sort -u"}
}
This creates a ⌥⌘S or ctrl-alt-S shortcut that lets you sort
your file with the Unix "sort -u" command
