Drag-select any text visible on screen and copy it to your clipboard via OCR. Built as a workaround for apps that block copy-paste (e.g. Claude's web terminal output).

Requires tesseract on your system:
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr
# Then install the tool
pip install git+https://github.com/staticplayHub/claude-copy-paste-workaround.git
