[Copy Path] Copy Path does not get URL from Little Arc

[chrismessina]

Extension

https://www.raycast.com/koinzhang/copy-path

Raycast Version

1.75.2

macOS Version

14.5 (23F79)

Description

I am unable to use Copy Path via keyboard shortcut to get the current URL of the frontmost Little Arc window.

Ideally I would be able to set a global hotkey to grab the URL/Path of whatever I'm looking at, since I use Arc's Copy URL keyboard shortcut dozens of times a day.

Moving this function to Raycast would be incredibly convenient — but not without adding support for Little Arc windows.

--

Feature suggestion: It may make sense to reverse the logic of this extension to start w/ browsers and then fall back to Finder in terms of the copy path priority, or to offer the option to prioritize browsers over Finder.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Enable Raycast Copy Path extension and set keyboard shortcut to ⇧⌘C
2. Open Arc and pull up a URL in the main window (e.g. raycast.com)
3. Open a Little Arc window and go to a URL (e.g. perplexity.com)
4. Hit ⇧⌘C
5. Inspect your clipboard to see which URL was copied.

Current Behaviour

The URL from the main Arc window will have been copied (raycast.com), not the Little Arc URL (perplexity.com).

Expected Behaviour

The URL from the Little Arc window should have been copied.

Hi @chrismessina The inability to copy Little Arc's URLs is not due to priority, but because Little Arc is a custom window view for Arc (not natively supported by Chromium), and Little Arc is not perceived through Raycast's Api or Applescript, so it is not possible to copy page URLs
