TextExtractor

Steps to reproduce

So I opened tinytask, and I pressed record what I did first was I clicked the button to text extractor which was window + shift + t and it worked on my screen, it copied the text and I could paste it. However when I was done recording it I played my tinytask, it did what I did but the difference was that the text extractor didn't copy the text. My cursor just kept on moving trying to copy the text but it didn't show any signs of it copying like a snap shot.
Additionally, I think the tiny task pressed the windows + shift + T but the text extractor didn't recognize this action.

Because when you press Window + shift + T it will take a snap shot right? the screen goes blurry and the cursor turns into a + button and when you hold the left click it will select into a box and you can select where you want to copy. However when the tinytask did the action windows + shift + t nothing happened.

(I was doing a macro on roblox)

✔️ Expected Behavior

When I recorded my tiny task to copy text I expected it to do the same when I played it. When it played I wanted it to take a snap shot of the text and copy in into a captcha and submit.

❌ Actual Behavior

What happened was when I played the tiny task or the macro the cursor just moved and the text extractor didn't work. I think the tiny task really pressed the keys windows + shift + T however the power tools didn't recognize this action.

Because when you press Window + shift + T it will take a snap shot right? the screen goes blurry and the cursor turns into a + button and when you hold the left click it will select into a box and you can select where you want to copy. However when the tinytask did the action windows + shift + t nothing happened.
