Description

Hey,

Even if I choose Selected as the Preferred Source in the extension settings, selected text doesn't appear in Deepcast. Please note that it's working well with other Raycast Extensions I use with this setting (WordReference, Quicklinks etc.).

Thanks a lot for the support!

Steps To Reproduce

1. Select text
2. Trigger Deepcast using a hotkey

Current Behaviour

No text appears in the extension.

Expected Behaviour

Selected text shall appear in the extension.

For Translate command, this currently currently isn't supported because it would fallback to the clipboard if the selected text is empty, leading to the form to always be filled with some data.

It should be working correctly for the Translate Into ... commands

Understood, thanks for this info!

How about just implementing the selected text part, without defaulting to clipboard? I think that's a solution that makes sense. You can always easily cmd-v to paste your clipboard into the form.

I agree with this solution, it would make it faster to get any text selected from the screen on the extension.

I've implemented it in #9083
