Seems like the Edit Text Window from my app Text Grab. Is that the kind of thing you were thinking? /needinfo https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Text-Grab

I am really sorry for replying this late. I checked out Text-Grab and was immediately hooked, as it's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, I love it ! ❤️ Haven't closed the thread yet, as this would be nice to have in PowerToys too. I think it complements the Text Grabber tool quite nicely, so might stay here as an idea or something.

Cheers ✌️
