I can’t find a way to copy the text I’m looking at, control glyphs + text string, in the Space Center. I’d like to, for proofing it in another application, say InDesign.

Thanks for the guidance, best, M

you could get them similar like what happens inside a Space Center

from mojo.UI import CurrentSpaceCenter

## get the current space center
spaceCenter = CurrentSpaceCenter()

## get the pre glyphs as a list of glyph names
pre = spaceCenter.getPre()
## get the input glyph names
glyphs = spaceCenter.get()
## get the after glyphs as a list of glyph names
after = spaceCenter.getAfter()

## join them all together in one big list
allGlyphs = []
for g in glyphs:
    allGlyphs.extend(pre)
    allGlyphs.append(g)
    allGlyphs.extend(after)

## print them nicely
print " ".join(allGlyphs)

Thanks a lot, it does the trick.

Note to users: ## print them nicely means with a wordspace between each glyph. For proofing, I need to get rid of the space, so I simply removed it between the quotes:

print " ".join(allGlyphs) → print "".join(allGlyphs)
