Copy Clipboard to text

[rechmbrs]

I just found this while searching for copy Clipboard to Text :

    function copyTextToClipboard(txt)

    {

      const keyTextData = app.charIDToTypeID('TxtD');

      const ktextToClipboardStr = app.stringIDToTypeID("textToClipboard");

      var textStrDesc = new ActionDescriptor();

      textStrDesc.putString(keyTextData, txt);

      executeAction(ktextToClipboardStr, textStrDesc, DialogModes.NO);

    }

How might I change this to do the opposite of the code above?    Couldn't find textFromClipboard or clipboardToText in search.

Thanks,

RONC

PS will new Plugin For VisualStudioCode to replace ESTK handle bringing Actions to JSX the same as now?

Text from the clipboard is Ctrl+V or CMD+V Paste. The script code you posted is Action Manager code that Adobe Plug-in Scriptlistener recorded in its VBS log on someone's desktop the programmer modified the code to turn it into a function they use scipting Photoshop.

There is DOM support for paste  the javaScript form would be app.activeDocument.paste() a true parm would make it a past into. I do not know anything about VBS and only hack at javascript.     appRef.ActiveDocument.Paste() vbs

In Photoshop you can Paste Text into Photoshop Text  tool in input or edit mode but, you can not paste text into a a layer. Paste normally create a raster image layer.  You you need to add an art layer then make the layer kind text and set all the attributes and set its content.
