Hi there,
I'm looking for a way to copy the title of the active window to the clipboard. I see the "paste window title" action but not the "copy window title" option.
Thanks!
Craig
You can use the "Run Real java script action" with this script:
(async ()=> {
let windowTitle = await get_string_variable("focused_window_title");
await set_clipboard_content({content:windowTitle, format: 'NSPasteboardTypeString'})
returnToBTT(windowTitle);
})();
Brilliant!
A great use case for this is when using note-taking or project management apps, and you want to add a readable hyperlink to a page, for example "Copy Active Window Title To Clipboard Action", you can use this action, paste it into your tool, ⌘k, to add link then paste.
Perfect!
For that you might even be able to generate a full hyperlink if you add the active website url to the script:
(async ()=> {
let windowTitle = await get_string_variable("focused_window_title");
let windowURL = await get_string_variable("active_website_url");
let html = `<a href="${windowURL}">${windowTitle}</a>`;
await set_clipboard_content({content:html, format: 'NSPasteboardTypeHTML'})
returnToBTT(html);
})();
Generates this for the current topic on my machine:

This tool and support community are amazing. I have been using it for years but have just begun to scratch the surface of its capabilities in the last year or so. Thanks for making my data-to-day workflow so much more efficient and enjoyable!
