Use selection, if not available use clipboard


Recommended Posts

Thanks Vitor,

 

I seem to have misused the term 'fallback'. I don't actually want fallback search results. What I want is:

 

If text is selected → Use that

If there is no text selected -> Use clipboard (if there is any text)

 

Sorry for the confusion!

Add a Conditional Utility. Leave it with the default of if {query} is equal to which translates to “if input is equal to <empty>”. Then connect the top output to an Argument and Variables Utility with {clipboard} as the argument. Like so.

Keep in mind that when nothing is selected, it’ll still work but you’ll hear a sound. That’s unavoidable, as it’s coming from macOS erroring when you can’t copy the selection.
