Fabulous - just what I was looking for. It would be great if you could also access the selected text variable (blank if nothing selected) and a current date variable :)

Хотелось бы чтобы из описания под роликами в ютубе можно было скопировать текст с полной, оригинальной ссылкой, без лишних хвостов. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AubAiHSHRgs&t=476s
