    It would be a GREAT help if we could highlight some text and press ctrl+alt+m (or something) and replace the selected text with an MD5 version of it.

    This would save me an hour or two each week and would only take a few lines of code.

      Use a command line MD5 tool that accepts text as a parameter
      e.g.

      C:\junk>md5 -h

      MD5  --  Calculate MD5 signature of file.  Call
                   with md5 [ options ] [file ...]

               Options:
                    -csig   Check against sig, set exit status 0 = OK
                    -dtext  Compute signature of text argument
                    -l      Use lower case letters for hexadecimal digits
                    -n      Do not show file name after sum
                    -ofname Write output to fname (- = stdout)
                    -u      Print this message
                    -v      Print version information
