Copy to Obsidian bookmarklet

A bookmarklet to copy the page title & URL in a Markdown link format for Obsidian notes.

If any text is copied on the page when clicking the bookmarklet, the selected bit is copied as a blockquote above the link.

(() => {
  const copy = (title, url, selection) => {
    const textArea = document.createElement("textarea");
    let text = "";
    if (selection && selection != "") {
      text = `> ${selection}\n`;
    }
    text += `[${title}](${url})`;
    textArea.value = text;
    textArea.style.top = "0";
    textArea.style.left = "0";
    textArea.style.position = "fixed";
    document.body.appendChild(textArea);
    textArea.focus();
    textArea.select();
    try {
      document.execCommand("copy");
    } catch (err) {
      console.error("Copying err", err);
    }
 
    document.body.removeChild(textArea);
  };
 
  copy(document.title, window.location.href, window.getSelection());
})();
