TextCapture for Godot 4

Canceling this, it doesn't actually work, only some of the text is captured and the ai can't spot the problem. It will be less work just to find/make a true screen OCR to ascii translator. Maybe as a plugin for the screen shot utility. /sigh

Capture Godot editor text directly - no screenshots or OCR needed.

Why TextCapture?

• 🚫 No image processing - Gets text directly from UI controls
• 📋 Perfect for AI/LLM context - Share exact editor state with ChatGPT/Gemini
• ⚡ Faster than OCR - No GPU/ML required
• 🎮 Ideal for dev support - Show UI hierarchy when asking for help

Features

• One-click copy of visible editor text
• Hierarchical ASCII formatting
• Supports 20+ control types (Buttons, Trees, Editors, etc.)
• Godot 4.3+ compatible

Installation

1. Copy the addons/TextCapture folder to your project
2. Enable in Project > Project Settings > Plugins

Usage

1. Click the 📋 button in Godot's toolbar
2. Paste anywhere (Ctrl+V) to share:

[Output] Text copied to clipboard!
