I just tried and with current BTT versions it works like this:
So first add an action with the predefined action "Save selected text to variable selected text"
Then in the webview use code like this to retrieve the variable:
<html>
<style>
// spinner from https://loading.io/css/
.lds-dual-ring {
display: inline-block;
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
}
.lds-dual-ring:after {
content: " ";
display: block;
width: 64px;
height: 64px;
margin: 8px;
border-radius: 50%;
border: 6px solid #fff;
border-color: #fff transparent #fff transparent;
animation: lds-dual-ring 1.2s linear infinite;
}
@keyframes lds-dual-ring {
0% {
transform: rotate(0deg);
}
100% {
transform: rotate(360deg);
}
}
</style>
<script>
async function BTTInitialize() {
let selectedText = await callBTT("get_string_variable", {variableName:"selected_text"})
window.location.href="https://www.google.com/search?q=" + encodeURIComponent(selectedText);
}
</script>
<body>
<div style="with:100%; height:100%; display:flex; align-items:center;align-content:center; justify-content:center">
<div class="lds-dual-ring"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
