Changing font sizes is much more frequent for me than that text change. I see how that can be useful sometimes but I so not see how this is so universally useful. IMHO, something like Emacs M-x in the vein of "apply this string method to the selection" would be more versatile and at the same time cater for thing that are useful but relatively infrequent.
