I'm on mobile right now, so not able to test it, but if you start with selected text, does it fill the buffer with it? If not, perhaps this feature could be added? It would be helpful for quickly dropping into to vim for advanced editing.

There's an outstanding PR that does precisely that - https://github.com/cknadler/vim-anywhere/pull/52

It's just become apparent to me that outstanding has two very different meanings depending on context, and this is one of the first times I've seen it used where it could be ambiguous.

Just to be clear, I believe that PR will fill the newly-opened Vim buffer with text from the clipboard - not selected text.
