Ctrl + C not working through send hot key

[aishwarya1 (Aishwarya)]

Hi,

I’m trying to copy a highlighted text in an application using send hot key and get from clipboard.

CTRL+C is working fine when I do it manually but through send hot key activity it isn’t working.

Can u please help

Hi @aishwarya1
Can you try with set to clipboard activity instead?

I have to pass an input for SET to Clipboard. but in my case im doing ctrl+c which cannot be stored in a variable

Hi @aishwarya1,

Can you share the screenshot of send hotkey’s properties?

Maybe you need to send CTRL + A to select all, then send CTRL + C.

Regards.

Have you tested Copy Selected Text instead?

Hi @aishwarya1,

Try this in a “Type into” activity:
"[d(ctrl)]c[u(ctrl)]”

Be sure to select None in both “empty field before typing” and “click before typing”

Kind regards,
Robert
