Hmm... I'm not very familiar with this, but couldn't you send a key command to select the entire text (CMD A)?


I'm not very familiar either. But the Automator workflow starts with "receives selected text", so I'm not sure it has access to the current text field


Did not know that. I've used HammerSpoon on Mac, and you can send key shortcuts with that... you could probably glue them together easily


osascript is our friend

    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "a" using command down'
