Copy highlighted text to clipboard, then use the clipboard to append it to a list

Question

I\'m trying to automate some actions in a browser or a word processor with pyautogui module for Python 3 (Windows 10).

There is a highlighted text in a browser.

Answer 1

Another option to get highlighted/selected text:

import subprocess
import shlex
selected_text = subprocess.check_output((shlex.split('xclip -out -selection')))
