Could you build this?
Partial Basic screenshotting and text rewrite wrappers are easy to assemble, but native cross-platform desktop automation, global OS hooks, and system-wide selected text extraction across arbitrary Windows and Linux apps require specialized desktop systems programming.
What it would actually take: The architecture needs a native desktop framework (Electron, Tauri, or C#/Qt) integrating with platform-specific OS APIs (Windows Win32 hooks / UI Automation API and Linux X11/Wayland protocols) to intercept hotkeys and capture selected text without clipboard clobbering. Handling Wayland permissions and varied Linux desktop environments is notoriously tricky.
