Hmm, I'd probably use a Leo button,
import time
from PyQt4 import QtGui
cb = QtGui.QApplication.clipboard()
text = cb.text(mode=cb.Selection)
nd = p.insertAfter()
nd.h = text[:12]
nd.b = "{text}\n\n# copied {time}".format(text=text, time=time.asctime())
c.redraw()
Put that on a button and it will suck in the text selected in another
app. as long as Qt and the other app. are doing things the same way,
OpenOffice with it's java world view etc. might not cooperate, haven't
tried.
Use `mode=cb.Clipboard` to get text actually copied in the other app.
and not just selected.
Apologies to Edward for making it qt4 specific, I think his recent work
makes it easy to write code that works with qt4 and qt5.
If your use case means you don't want to find and click on the Leo
window, I'd either use leoserver or mod_http (plugins), both of which
allow you to communicate remotely with a running Leo, but you'd have to
do something to invoke a command to send the data.
