 * Recently i found this article [wordpress-tinymce-tweaks](http://www.wpexplorer.com/wordpress-tinymce-tweaks/)
   about making tinyMCE buttons for shortcodes with popup window. This stuff is 
   sick and working great so far but it can’t wrap selected text in shortcode.
    
   I know basics of how it work like:
 *     ```
       selected = tinyMCE.activeEditor.selection.getContent();
       	if( selected ){
               content =  '[shortcode]'+selected+'[/shortcode]';
           }else{
               content =  '[shortcode]';
       	}
       ```
   
 * but i don’t have any idea how to include it in buttons made with that tutorial.
   Any ideas ?
